Evidence of a magnetically turbulent region above the lunar dayside is presented. This region apparently exists when the moon is in the solar wind and is approximately 100 kms thick. Possible explanations for the presence of a dayside turbulent sheath are investigated and, to within the accuracy of the data, none can satisfactorily explain its presence.
