A government case file added to the Black Vault website recently is an image of the moon taken during the Apollo 9 mission in 1969. The photograph, which can be found on NASAâs website, shows what appear to be three large cylindrical objects. They look as though they are in close proximity to the moon.
At NASAâs website the image is labeled AS09-23-3500. The site lists the technical specifications of the camera the photograph was taken with, but does not include a caption. The only thing listed as a feature is the words, âLUNAR VIEW.â
The Apollo 9 mission was a near-earth orbit mission with the primary purpose of testing the lunar module. It included the first manned flight, the first detachment, and first docking of the lunar module. The crew included astronauts James McDivitt, David Scott, and Russell Schweickart. It was the second manned use of the Saturn V rocket, and launched on March 3, 1969. The crew returned to earth on March 13, 1969.
The UFO moon image was taken on March 10, 1969. Often UFO images taken by astronauts turn out to be reflections or debris that is closer than it appears. You can download this image from NASAâs website yourself. Zoom in and see what you think.
Wow! That’s a pretty fantastic photo! Doesn’t look like a photo apparition. Again, wow!
I checked out the hi-res photo from the NASA website and to me they look like cuts make with a scalpel/craft knife. Don’t forget NASA did cut & splice some photos the old fashioned way and re-photograph the result before releasing them to the public (long before Photoshop was invented). Even the famous Buzz Aldrin ‘full on’ moon shot was edited & added to for compositional reasons (figure cropped to centre & more black sky was added).
To me, these three lines look like accidental cuts made through a photograph placed on top of the one viewed here. Sometimes the same photographs were layered exactly together before they were cut so that the identical cut sections could then be repositioned for the final new ‘shot’.
I’m not saying NASA are trying to hide anything; they just like to make a nice composition in their released photos (like the more recent and famous Photoshopped Saturn moon shot made from red/yellow/blue photographs).
I hope this makes sense. Basically someone was cutting/editing a photo and accidentally cut the moon photo displayed here. I definitely would not describe the lines as being cylindrical in appearance anyway.
Everyone, please feel free to ridicule my thoughts on this matter.

It’s been claimed what appear to be cylindrical objects are nothing more than “staples.”
