Full Description & Details:
I had taken my digital camera outside to take pictures of a really great looking sunset,i took 4 photos all together,i also made a point of getting the moon in 2 of the photos because it was a crescent shape and looked good against the sunset backdrop,the photos were taken all at the same time , one after another,when i put them on my computer i noticed a strange looking light low in the sky,i checked my other photos to make sure it wasnt the moon,which it was not , for the moon was in a totally different location and was not full,it was a small crescent,i have included a photo of this too.Im not sure what this ball is ,any comments would be helpful,when i went back outside about 3 minutes later there was nothing there ,the moon was still in the same place and still a crescent,western australia did not have a full moon on the 13th of march 2005,so im stumped,has anyone seen anything similar? thanks.

Other Comments:
i strongly believe that there is other life out there,im not sure what it was(in the photo) i can say 100% it was not the moon and my camera works just fine , so i was hoping you could help and explain what it is.
