Super New Moon!

It was November 15th 2001, I was driving along and as I passed the cars moving in the opposite direction, I noticed something strange! Everyone in the cars going the other way, was looking up at the sky! It was then I noticed a reflection in their windscreens, the moon had appeared! With what appeared to be light beams creating the shape of a cross behind it; but when I turned to look around there was nothing there!
