If it doesn't reflect light, it'd be black. If it emitted its own light then there wouldn't be shadows in the craters of the moon and we also wouldn't have moon phases. It's hard to tell if this person is actually being serious because this is literally just entry level physics. Plus, we've collected moon rocks during the numerous moon landings.

Also, it wouldn't look like a static hard circle in the sky, it would look like plasma.
