Crash occured at 01:42 and 21sec am EDT, and displayed a small flash of light.
ESA PR 31-2006: At 05h42m21.759s UT, 3 September 2006, a small flash illuminated the surface of the Moon as the European Space Agency's SMART-1 spacecraft impacted onto the lunar soil, in the Lake of Excellence region. The planned impact concluded a successful mission that, in addition to testing innovative space technology, had been conducting a thorough scientific exploration of the Moon for about a year and a half.
