green rays from moon last night

I've heard of the green flash at sunset, but have never seen it myself. Last night I watched the full moon rise above the hill behind La Manzanilla, sometime after 10:30. As it became fully exposed I was astonished to see a bright green aura around the bottom half, which soon looked like short green rays or spokes, brighter on the SE edge, but also visible on the S and SW. It lasted over five minutes! Never having seen this before, I hope someone can explain. No, I was not drinking. Maybe the effect of peering through the window screen? But I hope others saw it...
