10 Reasons Why People Think the Moon Landing Was Fake

7. Reflected object in astronaut’s helmet

A while after the landing took place, NASA released photos from the historic event. Conspiracy theory fans were quick to point out there was something odd in the photo of one of the astronauts. In the reflection of an astronaut’s helmet appears to be a mysterious object that seems to be hanging from a rope or a wire. All in all, it really shouldn’t be there, they say, so it must be something like a spotlight from a film studio.

What it is or isn’t was never mentioned by NASA, so it remains unexplained. We’re likely never going to find out what it is exactly, so there’s that. If it were a hanging spotlight, however, you’d at least think people at NASA were going to make sure nothing of the like made it into the released photos. It looks more like a dirt spot, however, so that’s as plausible explanation as any of them.
