VERY BRIGHT SOLID BALL OF LIGHT IN SKY - MOVING SLOWLY - NO SOUND - NO BLINKING LIGHTS

I happen to look out the second story window of my home in the northwest direction at 18:45 on Friday, February 17, 2012. I notice one solid bright ball of light moving very slowly in a clear sky above Kenmore East High School from west to NNE. I've seen this type of light in the sky the past couple of years traveling in the same west to east direction. The lighted ball was large in size and very bright. No sound, no strobe lights as seen on aircraft. It maintained a steady slow speed, light remained the same size. As the light maintained the same altitude as it moved across the sky, a few commercial aircraft traveling at a higher altitude in a east to west direction passed above it. As this object traveled farther east, the light dimmed. It seem to have dropped below the reflective light of the setting sun.
