Is anyone else's dog frightened of things in the sky? Sasha is terrified of planes, hang gliders, streetlights and most worryingly the moon 
She can be walking or playing frisbee quite happily then suddenly she'll spot something in the sky, drop to the floor and scurry away as fast as she can. While she is usually very good at coming back when you call her, in these situations blind panic seems to take over and she just runs. This is most worrying when she runs away from the moon because it is obviously dark everywhere and we can't always spot where she is!
She will stop and lie down when I tell her to (thank god for the distance control lessons at dog training
) but she won't be happy til we get back home or to the car. She even cowes when she sees streetlights when we're driving.
BTW she is a rescue dog.
Anyone ideas how I can help her?

In every other way and 99.9999999999% of the time she was a perfectly happy normal dog
