Claimed moons of Earth
Claims of the existence of other moons of Earth —that is, of one or more natural satellites other than the Moon that orbit Earth —have existed for some time. Several candidates have been proposed, but none has been confirmed. [1] Since the 19th century, scientists have made genuine searches for more moons, but the possibility has also been the subject of a number of dubious non-scientific speculations as well as a number of likely hoaxes .

Claims of the existence of other moons of Earth —that is, of one or more natural satellites other than the Moon that orbit Earth —have existed for some time. Several candidates have been proposed, but none has been confirmed. [1] The 19th and 20th centuries have seen genuine scientific searches for more moons, but the possibility has been the subject of a greater number of non-scientific proposals and likely hoaxes. [2] |
