This sounds like the plot of a book I read years ago called "Inherit the Stars" by James Hogan. In it astronauts find a body on the Moon in a space suit that is totally foreign. This launches an investigation which reveals that the body is millions of years old and was left there by the inhabitants of this 5th planet who were on the Moon of the 5th planet when the planet was destroyed. The moon then floated through space until it was captured by Earth's gravity. The survivors then went down to Earth to become our ancestors. Great Book and the first of a series.
