Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Florence, KY, USA

Shape: Circle

Almost full-moon appearing object in distance above trees. Not the full moon.

I stepped out on the front porch which faces south, and to my left (east) I saw what looked like an almost-full moon hovering above the tree line a distance away. It suddenly just disappeared.

I thought it was the moon and was covered by clouds, but it was a crystal clear starry night.

Suddenly, it appeared again, and remained for about 30 seconds, and abruptly disappeared again. I discovered it wasn't a full-moon phase, but the moon is in a crescent phase at that time, so it was not the moon.
