My speculation is that between the two of you, you heard pieces of two different stories, and neither really heard the whole story.

If the media would have reported this hoax email, I would want to find that article and nasty-gram them.
I searched for media outlets in a search for two moons and Florida. The only mainstream I found was Orlando Sentinel, which might be related to a TV station (most are).
But, the story explains it as a hoax.
