the KORDYLEWSKI CLOUDS

Named for Polish astronomer Kazimierz Kordylewski who in 1961 discovered these cloud like features.  The two difficult to see dust clouds are said to be orbiting Earth in a similar way the moon orbits it, and may be about the same distance as the moon.  The clouds are said to be nine times the size of earth.

In 2018 these clouds were rediscovered by Hungarian astronomers.
