During the monitoring of the earth lit Moon surface in the evening of February 11 2011, Marco Iten and I detected a lunar flash. Both AVI files showed up an evident simultaneous flash of light  located on the lunar surface. The analysis is under way but here we present some preliminary results.

I hope someone wasn't dropping bombs on the moon, again.
