The Moon with stripes!!!

Last night I saw something I've never seen before. At 7:25 PM EST the moon was well on its way rising in the east and there were some thin clouds masking it for a while. These clouds were, or I could say this cloud cover was made up of varing degrees of thickness in a horizontal thin, thick, thin, thick pattern. (probably about 3 thin and 4 thick or opposite) It made it look like the moon had stripes or bands like Jupiter. It was very odd looking. By the time I got home, approx. 7:40 PM EST the clouds were gone, clear skies, and the "show" was over. dt
