Maybe that's it, my vision isn't that great. It just looked like a blurry ring of light in the sky to me.

That seems likely, and unfortunate. To a lot of people it looks like all of the pictures that get posted to the Internet after the eclipse, except a fair bit more impactful because it's there. The sky turns dark blue, you see the coronal glow as tendrils of light coming away from the hole in the sky where the sun was a moment before.
Easily one of the more beautiful things I've seen, and I've seen quite a few.
