Mun discovery or glitch?

[Red Shirt]

Normally I would put this under what I did today but this is really cool. First went to North Pole on Mun. Climbed as high as freakiness would allow and planted flag. Bill exploded jet packing back to the ship. Crazy pole Kraken! Next mission was Valentina landing badly at the South Pole. The ship was pretty much toast but pod survived, stopping on the edge of another in a series of seemingly endless slides. Tried to make it to the pole summit but more freakies going on. Smacked the ground slid down the slope. Once stopped saw this floating boulder. Climbed as close as possible and planted flag. Then made the mistake of returning to the crashed pod and reverting - it took the flag with the revert. So I have no coordinates but I do have this picture. Graphics set to half res. It's dark but I think you can see it. If it is a graphics glitch, I am disappointed but it was still really cool. The South Pole summit is in the distance behind the boulder.

Could the magic boulder be back???

I want to believe! Seriously, there is sunlight brightening the bottom of the rock which leads me to think this might be legit. A return mission is planned when I have time.

I believe it is about time I made a return to the Mun's south pole.

Floating boulders are a common glitch. Terrain scatter has been WIP for several years now.
Work In Progress? Yeah right. Work On Halt you mean.

Don't think I've ever played an open world type game with perfect terrain scatters/detail objects.

Even AAA high budget games like Skyrim and GTA have floating objects like boulders, street lamps, trees etc...

Cut Squad some slack, this sort of bug just comes with the territory so to speak.

It is a terrain glitch.. I see floating boulders all the time. Sometimes in KSP too.

A pity it looks like it's a terrain scatter glitch (I have it turned off) after all.  I was looking forward to sending an expedition to plant a flag at a new anomaly.

The freaky terrain is normal for polar regions though.

I can't hear you, lalalalalalalalalalala

Just crashed Val (again) though the floating rock was still there.

Well poo, I guess that means no Redshirt Rock in the game. Oh wait, there can be in MY game Bwahahaha!

I see what you did there.

Peace.

I saw one of these on Ike last time I went there. And yes, poles tend to be rather kraken-prone.
