t first, I thought it was a full moon setting and the clouds were covering some of its circular shape leaving only a triangular shape visible. Then I stood and took a more closer look and realized it was a massive pyramid. It had markings on it but nothing that made another shape or sense. Similar to water markings. I know it wasn't the moon for several reasons. 1 its shape and colour. 2 the moon never sets in that direction but usually further west.3 very low , way too low. I thought I'm going in to fetch my camera and hubby. Turned to double check before I entered the house and it was gone. I don't know where. Tne second I saw it, looked down to watch my footing on path looked up and nothing there. It was a dull dark evening, dark earlier than normal with grey cloudy skies.
