I have seen it, several times actually. It does move like that, and it can throw a very clear shadow (for brightness).
You were unlucky, it seems. Several times the groups I was meeting up with were unlucky as well, and freaked out about the faintest glow over the horizon (and in both cases it was a better-than-50%-chance timewise).
People often actually don't believe it until they see it. It's the kind of thing I have to stop the car for or I'll crash due to not watching the road.
It's like looking at porn and then not believing fantastic sex exists at all.
Oh, I know they're out there. But it's true I've not been lucky enough to see one yet. But I also haven't gone out of my way to see them and since I live in town the visibility often isn't the best.
