Optical illusion concerning more than one moon

Is there a way that you can see more than one moon in the night sky.
When I was young, we had an outside toilet and I went out and it was
very bright. You usually had to feel your way along. I looked up in
the sky and there were three moons in different parts of the sky.

I have never had anyone explain it or been able to explain it, but
other people must have seen it, or the same thing may have happened in
other parts of the world.

If anyone has an explanation, I would be very grateful.

effects caused by ice crystals

They're obviously the moon, and the red and white personae of Planet X.
