Frame-grab and solarized image
of object apparently
orbiting the Moon. Video documentary
on The Lunascan
Project and report on this uncorrelated
lunar object available.
The Lunascan Project is an EBTI (Earth-Based Telescopic Imaging) program using live and recorded CCD technology to document and study LTPs (Lunar Transient Phenomena). The Project began in September of 1995 with one primary goal: Legitimate and serious LTP research. Within a year the Project had grown beyond its wildest dreams and had even tracked an object apparently orbiting the Moon!
The video, "TLP-1996", covers the first year in a documentary leading up to and including the imaging of U092196. Here's a sneak peek at the portion regarding "U092196":
Date: September 21, 1996, 7:26 PM local time, 00H26m CUT.
During routine scans of the lunar surface with the 16" scope equipped with a CCD camera, The Lunascan Project team tracked an unknown object near the SE lunar limb for twenty seconds. The Moon was under HPS Mode (High-Power Scanning) at 400 power, putting the surface at less than 600 miles.
