@liljo saidI just watched the Today Show on NBC this morning. The title to their news clip was called "China and US in new space race". My government wants to put a satellite in orbit around the moon to see what China is doing on the other side of the tidally locked moon.
Yes, very likely.

It is obvious to me that my government suspects the same thing I did, that it was China. I am guessing it was an empty fuel tank that crashed on the moon. They are disposable when empty. It is possible it was a failed mission, but I would bet it was just disposable junk in a weak orbit.
Now my government is wondering how many missions to the moon China has been doing secretly. They even accused China of trying to take over the moon. LOL!
