stranger than heaven: Viral Video Claims Moon Was Replaced by a Giant Hologram During Eclipse
A video circulating on TikTok and X with over 10 million views claims that the moon visible during the recent solar eclipse was actually a "stranger than heaven" hologram projection, citing alleged government leaks. The footage shows unusual light distortions around the lunar edge, but Fact-checkers at Snopes have confirmed the effect is a common lens flare artifact, and NASA has dismissed the claim as "baseless and imaginary." No evidence supports the hologram theory; the video is fake.
