Ipswich amateur claims Michael Jackson statue discovered standing mysteriously on Moon.

OUTER SPACE – An amateur stargazer from Suffolk claims to have discovered a statue of Michael Jackson standing serenely on the surface of the Moon.

The discovery was made late Tuesday evening by Geoffrey Gadfly, 54, of Ipswich, who says he first noticed the “moonwalking silhouette” while adjusting the focus on his back-garden telescope during what he described as “a fairly standard night of looking at craters and questioning the meaning of existence.”

Witness Testimony

“I was scanning along the Sea of Tranquillity,” Gadfly explained, referring to the lunar region famous for the landing of Apollo 11 Moon Landing, “when I spotted what can only be described as a life-sized statue of Michael Jackson, hat tipped forward, knees bent as if preparing to moonwalk. At first I thought it was a trick of the light, but then I realised the pose was unmistakable.”

Gadfly’s claim has inevitably drawn comparisons with the celebrated 1980s headline by the American tabloid Globe magazine, which once reported that a statue of Elvis Presley had been discovered on the surface of Mars—a story that experts later confirmed was “enthusiastically imaginative.”

According to Gadfly, the Jackson statue appears to be approximately 15 feet tall and positioned in such a way that, when viewed through a modest telescope, it resembles the pop star during the peak of his fame.

The Discovery

Local residents in Ipswich say Gadfly is well known in the area for his dedication to astronomy and for once attempting to photograph a passing satellite that turned out to be a Wetherspoons balloon.
