Alas, it was a cloudy night. So, no, I couldn't see it but I also have seen a "red moon" and it's an incredible site!

I knew it was that night...but I was a camping trip and unfortunately I only caught a glimpse of it. I think I was too busy playing Apples to Apples with my friends...

If you all are talking about that yellow moon whitch one I saw when I was 4. It was pretty "beautiful", but I think it's nothing special.

yellow moon = nothing special.
thats right.
it's the same cause as the red moon but slightly off. usualy during dawn and dusk.

the moon was not dark blue, i saw it as a light blue. maybe it was only my imagination but the moon looked light blue with a slight glow.

yes it's possible it was "real".
but isn't caused by something related to space.
most likely it was volcanic ash, forestfire clouds or small but heavy pollution.

The key to a blue moon is having in the air lots of particles slightly wider than the wavelength of red light (0.7 micron)--and no other sizes present. This is rare, but volcanoes sometimes spit out such clouds, as do forest fires:

the moon turns around the earth in a oval. the time it is closer to earth it will show itself lighter and more glowing. so if you saw a blue moon when the moon was closer to the earth. it would be a blue moon you discribed.

not many people had that opportunity.
and it's way more rare then a super moon.
next time will be around the year 2350. the super moon 2 or 3 year.

I saw it. I was a bit creeped out at first because I thought it was going our way or something. It was a nice view though.
