Good evening, I was trying to find somewhere to report an observation. We live in Bremerton Washington. At about 7:24 PM Pacific Standard time, we observed a bright white flash on the moon in the upper/mid Mare Serenitatis region, west of Crater Posidonus. Perceived as larger than how Venus appears. It was a quick flash like white, intense lightning. I'm not sure how to report degrees of arc but if the face we see is 90, and we start from the east then the flash occurred about 225 arc seconds to the west. This was observed by the naked eye, with clear skies between us and the moon.
