Where on the planet are you? That might help.

[Eccl 10:2]

You should install Google Sky Map on your phone. That would tell you.

From the Online Planetarium, it appears it was either Jupiter OR Venus, or possibly both.

If you plug in your coordinates, the time, and move the FOV to point west, you'll see that both of them were in the sky just above the horizon.

Its a Deathstar since Star Wars is opening in December.

Install the app “Night Sky”, point your device at the object and it will tell you. Could it be the ISS?

It’s Planet X, otherwise known as Nibiru.

Possibly International Space Station. It’s amazingly bright with a setting sun.

Maybe a streetlight?

Nothing about it at Suspicious Observers for the last few days.

Daylight savings time. It's actually only 10:30. But I share your initial confusion, how can you see an object that you know is closer to the sun than earth, when so close to midnight.

[Celtic Conservative]

I saw it too. just after dusk it was brighter than all get-out. Could be seen clearly even through prison security lighting.

My wife saw a star last night and she is almost blind. First one she’s seen in many years. Don’t know if it was the same one.

[McGruff]

Did it look like this?

It is Venus

“Our sister planet appears at its best for 2015 in June and July alongside a notable planetary companion, Jupiter.”

Uranus?

Simple solution at a most useful site - Go to http://www.heavens-above.com/ . Plug in your coordinates. Scroll down to and click “Sky Chart.” Type in the date and time of your observation. It will give you the entire view of the sky from your location at that time so you should be able to determine what you saw.
