There have been several moon impacts reported in the last 20 years. Some of them had video when it happened.

From Google AI:
quote:

Bright flashes of light on the Moon—often called Transient Lunar Phenomena (TLP) or lunar impact flashes—are usually caused by meteoroids slamming into the lunar surface at extreme speeds or disturbances caused by moonquakes. Because the Moon lacks an atmosphere, the kinetic energy of these impacts instantly converts into heat and light, creating a brief, bright burst visible through telescopes on Earth.

The massive distance to earth has a play in this.

I always find it unsettling when I can clearly see the moon during daytime, yet we never see the sun at night. Makes you wonder.


Orbital mechanics are hard to understand.

It’s ok baw. Brighter men than you have tried and failed.

Wondering if people have recorded impacts? Never seen one on any media. Interesting.

You can find the videos of the flashes of light from small impacts of YouTube with alien conspiracy videos.

Usually about a battle taking place on the moon between Space Force and the Selenites.

No im talking about the giant craters on the moon , ive never in my lifetime seen anything in recorded history in the media of an actual video of a large asteroid hitting the moon. Interesting.



They post stuff like this. I dont believe this. Combustion with no O2?

Cuz you’re too slow.

There’s this thing called “Google”. You may have heard people saying “Google it.”. Give it a try.

Let's say for argument's sake, you could reasonably predict an impact on the moon, time and size and location wise. Something really big-- say Tunguska event size. The event is still 238,000 miles away. Even with a telescope, and pin point prediction of time and location, it wouldn't register as all that significant.

Ahhh. Gotcha.

I do find it interesting that it looks like all the large impact craters are direct hits and surprised the craters don’t have a lot of debris trails from an angled impact trajectory.

When you’re flying anywhere, you can look down and see the circular sod farm harvesting. That’s what the big moon craters remind me of.

Some sort of surface mining operation.

How high are you right now on a sliding scale from Mr Rodgers to Timothy Leary?

You gotta think outside of the box otherwise you’re stuck in a rut… which is just a grave with the ends kicked out, brah.

Elevate yourself with lateral, non-Mississippian thinking. Then maybe, just maybe, you can break free of your Woolmarket mental chains.
