Full Description & Details

In August of 2002 my son and i were using our new meade reflector telescope and electronic eye piece to video tape the full moon (looking SouthEast). An object or shadow of an object passed over the surface of the moon. When we played it back in slow motion it looks to move in and out of the moon craters. Like a shadow of an aircraft would over ruff terrain. It looks to move up the sides of hills and down into the valleys very very quickly. It does not seem to be a satellite. It looks to be very close to the moons surface. It looks to be oval in shape. I could not have been an aircraft because i was focused on the moon under high magnifcation. If an airplane or bird passes in front of the telescopes field of view under high mag. it will look very large and out of focus. I was focused at the moon and the object is in focus with it. This tells me the object is at the same distance as the moon.
