Archival NASA photograph of the Apollo 12 (November 1969) lunar landing site, with one highlighted area of interest above the horizon (right of frame's vertical axis) marking purported unidentified phenomena. Annotation/highlighting was added by DOW for the 2026-05-08 release; the underlying photo is from the Apollo 12 surface magazines.
The underlying Apollo 12 surface photograph is virtually certainly in NASA's long-public Apollo image archives (Apollo Lunar Surface Journal, JSC, LPI), as all Apollo 12 surface magazines (AS12-46/47/48/49) have been online for decades. The specific Apollo 12 frame number for VM1 is not identified in available sources. The highlight overlay marking the alleged UAP region is new editorial content from DOW's 2026-05-08 release.
