Unidentified Object floating over the Moon. Captured by Italian Astronomer.
Tracked while adjusting the focus of the scope
April 29,2007
location: Busto Arsizio, Italy 45.600°N, 8.852°E. Elevation: 214 m
Time: Tracking beginning: 10.52pm
Celestron C8 +6mm orthoscopic eyepiece projection Meade LXD75 Mount
Camera Unibrain Fire-I Board - 640 x 480 B&W
Capturing software AstroIDC on MacBook Pro
Note: the capturing software was set to grab 300 frames x movie so I couldn't track the event in continuous mode. This is the cause of the gaps between the movies.
The path on the background image is due to the stacking while the object moved through the moons surface.

Italian astrophile films UFO hovering over the moon
Alberto Mayer, astrophile in Busto Arsizio (VA) managed to film a UFO crossing the moon very slowly, stopping, curving and going outside the satellite in another direction.
He edited all the videos and overlapped them to a static image of the moon to show clearly the object's anomalous motion.
"On the night of April 29, I was trying to focus my camera attacheded to the telescope. The high zooming factor and atmospheric turbulence were causing issues to the focusing steps.
The moon appeared "waving" but I immediatly noticed the presence of a small black dot in the corner of our satellite. At first glance I thought it was just dust on the lens of the camera. After taking a better look I saw the dot moving very slowly and it had the classic "distortions" produced by "bad seeing" (atmospheric turbulence). At this point I immediatly tried to start filming the object getting images as clear as I could."
