I actually think if you have some good binoculars you might be able to see this if it is a full moon.

We are living in some interesting times that is for sure LOL!
I've seen the station fly over once here on the east coast sometime back. The impact on the moon is 7:30 am here and will not be able to view it.
A couple of years ago I was viewing a group of stars with my binoculars when one of the stars vanished right before my eyes. It actually looked like it exploded very very quickly. It swelled slightly then poof, gone. At the time I couldn't believe I saw what I saw. The only thing I think it could have been
is a meteor entering the earth's atmosphere at the same angle I was viewing it, giving the impression of a stationary object, then burned out.
