Reddit Poster Asks Whether Moon's 'Wave' Looks Too Digital to Be Real

THE INTERNET — A Reddit user posting to r/HighStrangeness has put a question to fellow readers that astronomers have not, so far as the record shows, been asked to answer: did anyone else record the lunar wave?

According to the post, the answer is yes. The author recalls that a YouTube channel called Crow777 captured something similar. The post does not describe the footage in detail, nor does it include a date, location or equipment used, leaving the nature of the so-called wave to the reader's imagination.

The author asks what the phenomenon might be and why it appears, in the writer's estimation, to look digital. From there the post ventures further, asking whether the Moon could be fake and, if so, for what purpose. No answer is offered, and no evidence for artificiality is presented beyond the impression the footage made on the author.

The writer also mentions having seen many videos in the past announcing that two moons were visible. In the author's recollection, the second moon in such videos always looked blurry, or else rather dark for its phase. The post treats this as a puzzle in need of explanation.

The source contains no skeptical commentary or mundane explanation. Readers wishing to form their own view may wish to note that the post is a brief set of questions rather than a claim of proof, and that the footage in question was not included in the material reviewed by this newspaper.
