Several telescopes livestreamed the entire eclipse, and multiple people caught a glimpse of a small flash of light, seeming to come from around Lagrange crater. Because this event was seen by multiple observers separated by thousands of miles, the only conclusion is that something hit the moon, and its impact event was recorded on video.
...Further investigation will be necessary to determine the size of the meteoroid and obtain pictures of its impact crater, but for a basis of comparison, the LCROSS mission plowed a Centaur upper stage (2.2 tons) into the lunar surface at 2.5 km/s. This should have resulted in a flash visible through binoculars, but it didn’t.

I have some suspicion this was posted by a certain unnamed Freeper????
Of course it’s not hollow!
It’s made of green cheese!.....................
Why would you just assume that a flash of light is a meteorite impact?
Granted, it seems like a plausible explanation, if not the most likely, but it’s still an assumption. Until you can verify a new impact crater, it’s just speculation.
I’m not saying it was aliens...
[[Why would you just assume that a flash of light is a meteorite impact?]]
Because everyone knows that global warming killed off the cosmic lightning bugs- so that leaves only one other answer
The lunar recon orbiter will investigate. It has documented many new craters. A good read is here

What about the seismographs that were set up on the moon? Are they still operating? If so, it would seem that they would record any vibrations from an impact.
“Of course it’s not hollow!”
Hmmm...maybe it’s green SWISS cheese?
I believe it was a Cylon fighter that hit the moon after encountering the battlestar Galatica.
Weather balloon.
Yes, I know everybody wants to dump the old guys, especially if they were white, and God forbid Catholic.
Be that as it may...
“It is futile to do with more things that which can be done with fewer”
The old guys got there first and cranked out the good stuff.

Then why do they thump a cheese a cheese wheel testing for voids?
Trust, but verify.

Had to be a meteorite impact?
Really?
Sheesh.
There’s other things it could have been. For example:
An space alien from outer space taking off in his space alien from outer spaceship.
A kaiju lighting a space fart.
Why would a meteorite impact cause a flash of light on the moon? there is nothing to ignite it and there is no atmosphere to cause a friction flash.

According to thoughtco.com (first site that came up from my duckduckgo search for mineral composition of the moon):
“The crust consists of 43% oxygen, 20% silicon, 19% magnesium, 10% iron, 3% calcium, 3% aluminum, and trace amounts of other elements including 0.42% chromium, 0.18% titanium, 0.12% manganese, and smaller amounts of uranium, thorium, potassium, hydrogen and other elements. “
So I am no scientist, and I don’t even play one on TV (like Billy Boy Nye) but you have oxygen in the crust itself to ignite, among other minerals, and that’s not to mention that a very high velocity impact of just about any minerals are going to produce heat.
Thanks, sounds like it might be possible then.
