You're not as wrong as you think.They DO think it's the moon. But they are not trying to get to the moon.
They navigate according to the light of the moon. It is effectively an infinite distance away, so if they keep it on the right side of themselves, they know they're heading in the right direction.
When they fly past an artifical light, it changes direction, relative to them, cos it's close. So they alter their direction to keep it in the right place. And that is why they spiral into it.

Oh, thank god!After reading that post I was wondering "what the hell?", because I always thought they just loved the moon too! At least I am not completely mad!
