A hazy white patch of light slowly moving in the sky.

I am a high school chemistry and physics teacher and a a I was out side across the street from my house talking to my buddy Ken who is aiso a local police officer. When suddenly he said look up , there in the sky I saw a fuzzy white patch of light moving slowly in northeasterly direction. When observed through apair of binocculars it appeared as a nebulas shaped cloud that had a light source above it illuminating it.
