Astronomers have been left puzzled over the recent discovery of an unknown rocket crashing into the moon, leaving a double crater on the surface. No country has come forward to say that it owned the rocket, leaving it a mystery as to who launched it and whether it was purposely crashed.

Reporting the bizarre incident, NASA said, “Surprisingly the crater is actually two craters, an eastern crater (18-meter diameter, about 19.5 yards) superimposed on a western crater (16-meter diameter, about 17.5 yards. The double crater was unexpected…No other rocket body impacts on the Moon created double craters.”
Although the most possible answer is that a country lost control of one of its rockets up there, many theories have evolved over the matter. Some are predictably blaming the crash on interstellar aliens who flew a rocket to the moon from another planet, while others have a bizarre but interesting theory that’s circulating the internet.
According to this theory, the impact may be due to an experimental aircraft piloted by eccentric tech Titan Elon Musk himself. The amateur astronomers note that Musk has not tweeted from his personal account for over a week now and point to recent key approvals obtained by SpaceX from federal regulators to launch its newest rocket platform. “Musk has been incognito for a while now,” one Twitter user. “Why is nobody connecting the dots?”
