Moon behind diffuse clouds. Not moon.

Looked out of blinds in a N-NW direction. about 7:15 local time. saw what I thought was full moon behind diffuse cloud cover. It had been cloudy and overcast earlier. I was closing blinds across the Western side of living room. After I thought about it--- that seemed to be a place the moon couldn't be. So- I went outside and saw nothing there. Also -- once my eyes adapted to the dark I saw that the sky was completely clear of clouds. The object was a bright round disk as big or slightly larger than a full moon--- and has the appearance of the moon behind thin clouds---- like a light with a white or grey shade over it. Brightness was similar to the full moon behind clouds as well. It was about 20 degrees above the horizon and in a N-NW direction. I suppose it could be described as an "orb"………. I stood outside for about 10 minutes but saw nothing else.
