I don't know if this is a natural occurence, but I saw it, and it was stunning. On the day of December 29, 2007, at around 3:30 AM (GMT+8, Manila), me and my cousins were just finishing up our game of poker at my rest house in the suburbs, when I decided to walk around our yard while smoking. Anyway, I looked up in the night sky, and there was this big, cleared-out, perfect circular "hole", and the moon was right smack dab in the middle! It's like, imagine a bowl, turn it upside down so that the concave faces you, and the moon is right in the middle. It was relatively hazy that night (but there were no rain clouds). The most puzzling thing is that, if it was just a blanket of cloud that was seemingly cleared out by the moon rays, then why, when a high-flying aircraft crossed this "hole" with its tail emitting a smoke trail, the perfect circle hole was not ruined at all? Is there an explanation for this "phenomenon" if I can call it one? Thanks. :)- reypasco818, Manila, Philippines
