MOONBATS. The pejorative expression comes from the Great Moon Hoax (1835) in which U.S scientists 'discovered' human-like creatures on the moon: "Unlike earth-bound humans, these creatures ... had wings composed of a thin membrane, without hair, lying snugly upon their backs."
The First Moon Hoax. In 1835, a series of hoax articles appeared in the New York Sun claiming that a civilization had been discovered on the moon by means of telescope - and that bat-like winged humanoids "Vespertilio-Homo" resided on a lunar surface that had vegetation & water.
