However interestingly from my vantage, when the moon emerged between the dramatic cloud cover for a few minutes there was an airplane contrail right in front of it.”
Karl Diefenderfer in Quakertown, Pennsylvania wrote: “Full Wolf moon rising up through the clouds last night.”
Richard Lakhan in Trinidad wrote: “So much for the Wolf Moon … I saw a bird!”
