Is this a UFO in a photo from the Apollo 16 mission?

Apollo 16 (April 16-27, 1972) was the tenth manned mission in the Apollo program and the fifth mission to land on the Moon, the first to land in the highlands area. Crewed by John W. Young, T. Kenneth Mattingly Jr and Charles M. Duke Jr.

A photo taken from Apollo 16 as it was leaving the moon appeared to show a strange object to the left of the image, was this a UFO as some have claimed?

It has been accepted that the photo is not a hoax, or that the image is of Earth (as some had suggested earlier). Even the possibility that the image was a reflection of the sunlit camera lens in the Apollo window has been ruled out.

However, there is a strong belief that the image showing is actually the end part of the EVA boom, but can we be absolutely sure?

The people involved in PPP (Penetrating Photographic Process) have offered to use the photographic technique to answer that question once and for all, by enlarging the image to reveal its true nature.

Unfortunately, because this process is very time consuming and costly, this project can only be undertaken if there is sufficient interest (and donations). If you would like to end the mystery and obtain a result, please send an email to the inventor of "PPP" (ppp5796@yahoo.com) confirming your interest and state how much you would be willing to donate (if there is sufficient interest to investigate this project). Do not send any money at this stage.

If you have a different project you would like to try the "PPP" on, send in some details (to the inventor) for an estimation of the cost.
