Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

object behind clouds that looked like full moon but was not. moved to always be behind clouds for six minutes

I walked out of work and had to walk around the building to get to my car, I was walking east and saw the full moon peaking out from behind the clouds,as I came around and headed toward my car I saw what appeared to be the full moon in the west underneath some clouds ,catching that something was wrong I did about five takes back and forth seeing two moons in the sky, there were some young men and a friend from work standing out in the parking lot so I went over to them and said, "hey could you help me out here if that is the moon," I pointed to the east ,"then what in the heck is that?" I pointed to the west. We all got excited and walked over to the western edge of the parking lot to watch this light source behind the coluds in the west. It was the same size as a full moon behind the clouds. We talked excitedly as to what it could be and became excited as a rift in the clouds started to drift toward the light, we thought for sure then we would know. To our surprise and confusion the object moved to the other side of the rift in a split second, and you couldn't see it move across the rift just one second it was on one side of the rift the next second it was on the other side of the rift, it did that several times during the 6 minutes we watched it, I asked the guys if they would be against reporting this to NUFORC and they said that would be fine so one of the men, ((name deleted)) called right then and there while we were still witnessing the object but there was no answer. We continued to watch the object hover until another rift would come and then it would just jump over what looked like 5 inches from our perspective and then it would be still behind clouds we all watched as finally after al this it just blinked out. One of the other men and I swore a few times we saw some kind of flash come from the object through the clouds,it also seemd sometimes to have a greenish hue to the light . it was so weird...

NUFORC Note:

Anonymous report, so we have not way of getting back to the witness(es) to request more information. PD
