Spot light in sky

Was outside helping a friend load his furnace, and happened to look up. Minimal clouds, I could see stars.

Could not help notice what looked like light coming through the clouds as if the moon was behind them, yet that was not where the moon was. Almost looked like there was a powerful spot light from the ground hitting that area of the sky.

A friend that was located about 5 miles away had called, and I told him what we were seeing and he then went outside and could see it as well, 5 miles away.

It was very strange, considering I am a pilot, have been staring at the sky for 40 years and never seen anything quite like it. Just wanted to report it.
