A researcher's discovery of an image showing a bizarre-looking object on the surface of the moon could be the answer to the longstanding debate on lifeforms in other planets.

Man may not be the first person to have visited the Moon, as evidenced by images of a mysterious, bizarre-looking "alien spaceship" on its surface that left scientists confused.

A researcher recently posted images of a triangular mystery object on the surface of the moon under the username "WowForReeel."

The bizarre "spacecraft" appears triangular and has seven light-like dots along its edges. The shape and features of the bizarre object are similar to the sharp front area of the common depiction of alien spacecraft, sparking the interest of thousands of alien enthusiasts online.

"It's really there, not faked and I have no clue what it is," the researcher wrote in his post. "I found nothing else like it in any of the other craters."

"Is it just a weird-looking crater? Or is it something else?," WowForReeel asks his viewers.

The researcher continued on to explain that the triangular image was so unique that there was nothing like it in other craters on the moon. He added that it also did not appear to be man-made and could be the remnant of a destroyed alien spacecraft that descended on planet earth's satellite body.

According to Tech and Gadget News, the shaped apparently "looks like the leading edge of an immense triangular space ship".

The researcher said he will continue studying the images and looking for clues as to the truth behind the bizarre object on the moon.
