The splitting event purportedly only took a very short amount of time, it was only meant to show to a handful of Meccan pagans that the prophet's message is divine. Imagine that you look at the sky one day and notice, for a few seconds, that the moon is split in two. However, right after blinking your eyes while trying to comprehend what's going on, the moon appears intact. Clearly you won't tell anybody that you saw that the moon was split in half because no one will believe you, and rightly so. So anyone who could've witnessed this event probably thought he was mistaken, hence the absence of reports.
If, however, you tell someone that the moon will split in half in a minute, and then the two of you really witness it, even if only for a few seconds, then this is clearly a miracle for both of you.
P.S. : I can refer to various sources found in muslim apologetics websites that the event really was documented by people from other civilizations, but it's unnecessary here.
