I always wondered why I didn't experience that, growing up, but all of a sudden something clicked watching the stars and planets one night on the Alabama shore, and I haven't really shaked the feeling since.

That was almost surely the sun rather than the moon, if you could see its shape. The moon should not have been visible. Often the sun is visible that way, through clouds. I'm not sure what the other shapeless object was--probably just a point reflection.
