I saw a perfectly edged stripe on the moon this morning while sitting in traffic at about 7:50 AM EST on Wednesday, 01/03/2007. It was dark gray or black, about 20% the width of the moon. It was mostly vertical with a slight lean to the right. It only took a few seconds before the stripe appeared to slowly slide off of it, eclipse-like. Thinking about it after, it had exactly the look and behavior of a shadow. Is it possible that a satellite or something else man-made could have cast a shadow that large over the moon?

Not a satellite, the best a satellite could do is make half a point of black zip by in half a second. There are no eclipses till March.
Was it a telephone pole? A building? You were stationary right?
How long did it take?
Where were you? How did 2 other people see this?

Y'all really shouldn't be drinking and driving.
Y'all also need to study more physics, otherwise you'd know that what you thought was a shadow is impossible, so it must have been something between you and the moon, like your eyelashes.
