A Strange North Carolina Moon
It is difficult to describe this as it's so beyond "normal." It got bigger and appeared to be "lowering." Again, we could only see the ring of the outer perimeter of it. We took pictures and the flash of the camera seemed to make it approach faster. We decided quickly to stop that. (Pictures show nothing, it was pitch black out.)
We went inside to make sure our children were okay as we'd been outside at least 20 minutes. Then we came back out, it had moved farther up. It was not nearly as close. There were at least 3 beams of light going across it, this did allow us to notice that it was rotating. I wish I could give more detailed info, but it was so hard to describe. I wanted to make a report as it happened. I honestly don't want to see it again. I am blown away that no one else seemed to notice-it was massive.
It left in an upward direction. When it was gone from sight, it was basically still overhead, by that I mean it was moving west. What could this object have been? Well, folks, any ideas?

strage indeed and wish you could have had pictures of it.
No idea! From the way they struggle to explain it, I think they at least believe they saw something strange. I wonder if it stayed over the moon the whole time or if it moved left or right? Only because it seems kind of odd that it would stay over the moon all the way down. But without pictures it’s just a story!
And hard to prove.
well at first I’d say ice crystals from high Cirrus clouds. The ice crystals can lower as the thin clouds move in front of the moon and it may seem like it’s moving.
Throw in a little superstition ” We took pictures and the flash of the camera seemed to make it approach faster. We decided quickly to stop that.” and a little imagination “There were at least 3 beams of light going across it, this did allow us to notice that it was rotating.” and you got yourself a UFO. Well anyway, a pic would make a big difference in this case. They must have a poor camera, I would think any type of camera could pick up the moon. I think they are sincere and believe they saw something. Who knows maybe they did.
If it is just a halo it wold still be cool but it would not be a ufo.
I’m inclined to agree with Scott - it was probably ice crystals. Our eyes can play tricks on us especially at night. If Venus is the most “mis-identified UFO”, even with experienced observers, then a phenomenon like this can easily be mis-interpreted, especially if one has never seen it before. Sorry to pop your bubble, but this wasn’t an alien spaceship, but a really cool natural phenomenon.
And something the average person sees and since they don’t know what it is they see it is to them a ufo.
well,some people says that UFO move zigzagly,that’s better if your photo was clear.so maybe that was just clouds or something else.but that was also could be an UFO.
Now if these clouds moved and not stayed in one palce them maybe there would be something moroe to it.
If you look at a star long enough (or Venus, for example), it will appear to zig-zag because of involuntary eye movements. I’ve seen this many times as I have been out observing with my telescope.
Well so you say it’s all a trick of our mind?
I’d have to disagree with the Ice Crystal theory.
She probably saw an unidentified object. Not of our planet.
Face it. Truth hurts.
If so it’s the frist ever see thorugh ufo. Not tat thats’ impossibe. Wit hadvanced beings anythig’s possible.
