The Moon Is a Projection
But Only Sometimes

By @grassmonster

It’s been said that there’s a fine line between eccentric curiosity and full-throttle lunacy. That line, apparently, runs across the face of the Moon – at least on weekdays.

Welcome to the latest entry in the increasingly surreal catalogue of modern myth-making: the belief that the Moon is a **holographic projection**, but only **some of the time**. Yes, according to the theorists behind this emerging phenomenon, our beloved celestial companion is swapped out with a digital decoy during certain hours or on days when “maintenance is being done on the real one.”

What They Believe

And You Won’t Believe It

The core of the theory is beautifully nonsensical: the Moon we see on Monday might not be the same one we see on Thursday. Apparently, the **real Moon** needs servicing – just like a Sky box or a washing machine – and during those periods, it’s replaced with a **drone-operated hologram** projected from cloaked devices in the upper atmosphere.

Some claim these devices are mounted on high-altitude military aircraft. Others say the projections come from “orbital reflectors embedded with quantum mirrors.” A few particularly inspired individuals blame it all on Tesco’s night shift lighting strategy.

The So-Called “Evidence”

• Videos of the Moon “glitching,” which upon inspection are clearly shaky iPhone clips of a streetlamp reflected in a car window.
• Claims that “sometimes it looks too 2D,” as if that’s a metric in astrophysics.
• One TikTok user shouting “That’s not my Moon!” while zooming in on what is almost certainly a bird crossing the lens.

To believers, the real Moon is being cleaned, calibrated, or simply hidden during classified operations. Tuesday nights are especially suspect, though no one can agree why. Perhaps it’s a Union thing.

The Comfort of Cosmic Lies

This isn’t just ridiculous – it’s comfort food for minds overfed on paranoia. By converting the Moon into a projection, they transform the most familiar object in the night sky into a grand deception — a spectacle designed to trick the masses while elite sky engineers hide the truth just above our heads.

It’s theatre. Lunar theatre. And it’s selling tickets.

Final Thoughts – Not Every Glitch Is a Cover-up

The Moon is real. It doesn’t go offline for patch updates. There is no cosmic screen saver. And while it’s true our species once reached the Moon with technology less powerful than a microwave, it does not follow that we’ve since replaced it with a flying PowerPoint presentation.

So, if you’re looking at the sky this evening and think the Moon looks a little off, consider the most likely possibility: your camera settings are wrong, your eyes are tired, or — most probably — you’ve been reading far too many hashtags and not nearly enough books.
