Default do you see a space craft on the moon?

From far it looks like a fish flooting on the moon but once the picture gets zoomed in it starts to show something that looks like a rock. I don't think it is a spacecraft but to me it looks like it is flooting.

You be the judge?

its a psychology! after a certain age when your brain sees images for the first time that don't look similar to anything before, it tries to form familiar shapes and other images out of it to help you identify important features. these features are along the lines of "is it hostile? does it notice me? is it food?" ect... primal instincts that your brains regards most important to your survival. a common effect is seeing faces on rounded objects. take a photo of some dust with the flash on and zoom in, if you look for a few seconds it appears there are eyes and a mouth but we all know its just dust (although this might not work since your brain knows what to look for now). this part of the brain develops as you're a child and a 8 year old would see this picture as a completely different thing then a 18 year old.

also shadows can be projected strangely on the moon. how this happens i forgot but the mythbusters explain it and replicated it in their workshop.

Dont like the way the pictures have been messed with at the end. Would prefer to be able to see the originals in full rather than enhanced and cropped versions.

Whatever it is , looks like some nice designs on it though.

As for mythbusters ... please dont take everything they say as truthful , hell they say the marching on a bridge myth was busted ( one about a group of people walking across a bridge in uniform caused it to start breaking ) and I know for a fact that that 1 is true as the newly opened Millenium bridge in London had to be closed to the public for quite some time while it was repaired and made structurally sound again.
During its 1st open day for the public the bridge was lined with people and a band was playing. Subconsciously and eventually just about everyone started to step in unison ( because of the marching band that was playing ) which caused the bridge to start bouncing up and down which eventually caused cracks to appear and had to be shut down while they fixed it.

I guess they didnt know about that bridge when they tested the myth ( even though it was tested after the event had happened ) Made some kind of model bridge and tried to march robotic feet across it ( which btw where the worst thing ive ever seen them make on the show ) which made them come to the conclusion that it was busted

Obviously what they say about light on the moon is going to be right , they can quote from books lol but as far as other things go , they dont seem to know as much as they make out.

Anyhow , its not just on the moon shadows can project oddly , here on good old earth it happens too.

When the sun is low and shadows are long , especially on uneven terrain , objects that look close to each other will cast un-parallel shadows distorted by perspective and I would imagine lack of atmosphere if on the moon.
However those same objects and shadows when looked down on from above , will in fact cast parallel shadows.

After reading Drakes and Udders comments I'm not even gong to post a real reply because I refuse to announce my stupidity in the forums. Good talk guys.

My stupidity:

I think it's just someone flying a kite... I mean seriously does it have to be all Space-shippy? I like kites and I wanna fly one on the moon.
