Any astronomers here?

This is all over facebook. There are people from all over the country that have seen this.

How can the top of the moon be in a shadow?

The picture below was taken by a man in Connecticut

Not sure where the you tube post is from but shows it more clearly.

I used to notice this all the time driving home from work when working swing shift.

The waning moon rises late and is lit by the pre-morning sun from the east.

Early to bed types seldom see this.

The horizon line of the picture is tilted as evidenced by the light post.

Further evidence of the impending alien invasion.
