We pulled into the drive way and saw a full moon shaped object over the field behind the house.

I am a 29 year old man. My wife and I are from AL. I'm in the military and I was stationed at Eglin in Ft Walton Florida. I would drive up to Alabama and stay with my in-laws during the weekend and hunt. I consider myself sane, that's why I'm doing this. On this night my brother-in-law and myself were riding around "sober" he doesn't drink. I don't remember if it was clear over us or not but there was a storm way off to the south. I remember seeing the lightning. My in-laws house is set close to the highway, aprox. 60 yards from the road with a driveway that goes all the way around the house between it and the shop. We pulled into the east driveway at aprox. 03:00 and stopped behind the house with the truck headed south west. At the same time we looked at an object set behind the shop and over a field aprox. 200 yards away and about 100 feet off the ground. At first I thought it was the moon because it looked just like a full moon and about the same size. Then it moved West at aprox. 30 MPH. It never changed direction. It went about 300 yards or so and dissapeared. I didn't see a trail or anything. It just vanished. I know there's some explination for it, I just don't know what it is. That's one reason I'm writing this. We told family members but we didn't report anything. We very seldom ever talk about it. I told my dad about it and he said that my uncle and cousin had a very similiar experience in Camden AL. It would have been in the late 70s early 80s. He says they were looking at the full moon and then noticed that there was two of them. Then one moved and dissapeared. Maybe it's hereditary. Ha Ha. I wasn't going to write but I see that some other people on here have seen a similiar full moon type object. Just thought I'd share my experience. Keep up the good work.
