While I was looking at the Moon, through my telescope. I noticed a black spec. I then blinked to make sure it was not something in my eye. Upon further inspection I noticed this spec was circular and very black. I also noticed a shadow underneath it on the surface of the moon. The moon was approximately half full and the object was moving in the middle of the illuminated area and traveled in a straight line toward the dark half. I watched it until it disappeared in the darkness and kept watch for the next hour in hopes of seeing it again but to no avail. This object would have to be hundreds of feet in diameter for me to be able to see it. So I researched Lunar orbiters and found that the biggest one was about 2 meters in diameter, which would be impossible to see. So what was it?? Has anyone else seen something similar??
