Large shadow going across moon surface, no clouds clear sky.

I was driving down the turnpike. I saw this dark line going accross the moon, there were no clouds, Just this long slinder shadow crossing the moon. It took about 10 secounds to pass. Would like to know if anyone else reported seeing it.

NUFORC Note:

It is difficult for us, based on the relatively limited amount of information in the report, to distinguish what the witness describes from a typical contrail behind an aircraft, seen passing in front of the Moon. We presume the witness considered this possibility, however.
