Taking picture of Venus and Crescent moon

As I was taking my picture of Venus and the moon the object caught my eye and while I focused on it the object it simply disappeared.
I was on the camp deck there were no windows or screens, and the night sky was clear. Though I could see it, the object did not appear to have any illumination. When I downloaded my camera to my computer, I noticed the object was in the frame.
