Explore the uknown and make assumptions at your peril.
It is well known that piles of mud and stingrays can both be found in water.

It is an unreasonable leap to go from, "It looked like mud and it was a stingray; it looks like a rock so it's a spaceship."

It is an interesting shape, and when flights to the moon are commonplace and cheap, it will be worth getting a closer look. But it does not strike me as being a priority.

In the meantime we could check out various commonplace objects to see if they are something else in disguise.
