Yea, I saw the jet go by but from here it just skimmed the top of the Moon
and as for you caused a bit more excitement that Antares did...

The reappearance of Antares from behind the moon was ok, but not
spectacular. Gail and I both watched using 6" and 8" dobs, both at 55X.
(Driven scopes at high power would have been better). The event was far from
ideal. The moon was nearly full and Antares emerged on the bright limb.
Plus, the limb was a wavy mess since it we only 7 degrees above the horizon.
For us, the best part was when a jet transited the moon. - Paul
