Strange Lunar Eclipse

I was driving home and the Moon was interesting. There was a sliver on the lower right side. The sliver got skinnyier and skinnyier. Then the moon was covered. It was like an eclipse. But I checked the reports, there was not supposed to be one.

The object moved back the other way to recover the new moon sliver.

I spotted this first on rt 30 in Vermont before turning to 149 to Granville.

Then it dissapeared behind buildings. I turned right at Evergreen bank to North St.

And got down to the parking lot behind the bank and that's where I saw the rest of the event. I don't know what to make of it after I leraned there was not supposed to be a Lunar eclipse. I told my dad about it and he suggested to report it.
