Lunar Impact possibly a Lyrid - Imaged on April 22, 2007 03:12:24UT with an 8" Celestron and StellaCam II at prime focus. Bill Cooke and company at the NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office at MSFC also picked up the flash on their instruments thus confirming the event.

The flash was recorded on two frames and is located just above and to the right of the center of the image.


Unconfirmed possible Lunar Impact - possibly a Lyrid;
