Scientists Have Spotted Something Huge Following Our Planet

Is our planet haunted? In this video, we explore Earth’s ghost moons—the eerie companions that have been spotted silently following our planet. These mysterious objects appear and vanish without explanation, leaving scientists debating for decades whether they even exist. Are these "ghost moons" real, or just a cosmic mirage? Join us as we investigate whether the Moon is truly Earth's only companion in our journey through space.
