I currently live in Ukraine, and the 'hole' was visible there at 9.30 CET
Does anybody know of an event like this, if so, what was the 'hole', how was it created etc.

We get that effect here in Canada sometimes in the winter. We call them Moon Dogs, and I think they're caused by ice crystals high up in the atmosphere.
