Good question - an aircraft carrier nearer than the moon? I can't imagine that'd be visible to the naked eye - even ships on the horizon disappear pretty quick. Then again you can see satellites sometimes, but that's like 4 orders of magnitude closer.
well but if it comes when its night and it has a tail long enough and is also bright enough,and is close to moon from the perspective of someone on earth and hence moon light makes it more visible, then.. who knows??
