Well... thought its full moon, (and the lunar eclipses happen only when its full moon), it seems it was not one, or, at least, not a documented/predicted one. But as the eclipses can be predicted centuries before they happen, the chance of a unpredicted eclipse is almost null.
Which time of the day the moon seemed orange? It was when the moon was rising or setting? If so, the effect is simply the dispersion of the colors due the atmosphere, the same effect that makes the sunset looks orange/red.
