On 12 March 2016 at 18h 33m 02s UT the members of UAI Lunar Section Bruno Cantarella and Luigi Zanatta (Melazzo, AL, Italy, 44°39'25" North, 8°25'52" East) have recorded the first flash of impact of one meteoroid on the Lunar surface. The observation and the record has been made with one unique Newton telescope 200/1000 at f/5 with astronomical videocamera ZWO mod. ASI 120MM with a frame rate of 25 fps and image's resolution of 1024 X 600. Currently the Impact Candidate has been not confirmed by others indepedent observers. After the send of observatives data by the Lunar Impacts Project's Coordinator to NASA Marshall Space Fligth Center, the American Team has valued in positive mode the obtained result and has classified the flash as Lunar Impact Candidate n° 28 in the list of Independent Observers of NASA Meteoroid Environment Office. Also has been made by Dott. Alessandro Marchini Responsible of Astronomical Observatory of the University of Siena (Italy) a first light curve of impact flash that at the moment of the luminosity peak has been 250 units more bright than lunar surface around at the impact zone. The phenomenon it is lasted 0.08 seconds (1/12 sec.), and the impact zone has been detected at the selenographics coordinates of 39.9° West and 8.0° South +/-0.2°, in the southern zone of Oceanus Procellarum, and more precisely to South-West of the crater Wichmann B.
