Moon size, like object, quiet, white and bright August 1997-1999 3:00 AM. Any one else?

Moon Like, bright, white Object...I set my alarm to get up to watch the Perseid meteor showers at approximately 2:30 AM. I saw a couple shooting stars from the front and rear of my house, respectively - (about 2 miles from the beach).

3:00 A.M. I decided to kick back with a blanket and pillow to view the unfortunate sparse meteors visible - when suddenly and quietly, a full moon sized object, as bright and intense as a full moon, moved swiftly above the whispy cloud line toward the South from North.(toward the Seabrook nuclear power plant) From the time it came over my house and disappeared over the trees and sky line was just a few seconds. I was stunned nad startled. I have seen hundreds of meteors including bolides - but never anything like this. I have watched the skies my entire life and am knowledgable in astronomy and the cosmos.

I really am having a difficult time actually remembering the real year that this happened for some reason: 1997 - 1999. I have no clue why this has become so difficult to remember. I have posted other posts on the interenet - but they always disappear. I can not believe that no one else did not see this object! I contacted MUFON with not much interest. Anyone else see this? Please post.
