Shape: Other

Bright neon green, half-moon shaped object horizontally across sky seen by different family members at different times.

Wed, I got out of my car and was walking throught the parking lot to the front door of our church when I detected movement out of the corner of my eye; looking up I saw what I thought was a half-moon shaped object moveing across the sky and disappearing over the mountains.

The object was glowing neon green in color and did not appear to have any tail as a meteor would. It had to be fairly large or close to the tree tops. I could see the moon and the object at the same time. It looked to be 1/3rd the size of the moon.

This is an area with few lights (couple of street lights) and on a cloudy black evening.

The weird thing is my son-in-law saw a bright glowing object that was half-moon shaped around the same area about a month earlier but I didn't believe him; I thought he was just exaggerating. By my experience I had forgotten all about his and what his looked like.
