It was eerie and beautiful. It\'s the only time I\'ve heard the crickets and frogs in my neighborhood go silent in summer, too.

Remarks
It began to look like it was splitting in two two pieces as it moved beyond my sight. Lost sight because of trees. Could have been a train becoming visible for some reason, but not sure if it was that or some fragmentation occurring.
