Bright light in the sky. UFO or What?

Coming home from Alabama, I saw this bright light just staying in place and by us as we drove to Pontotoc, MS I first saw it in West Point, MS then my son (24 yrs) asked me what that bright light was....we watched for nearly 1 hour. When we arrived home Iwent outside in the back facing Due West I looked for that bright light....it was no longer there..

NUFORC Note:

We suspect the witnesses may have been observing a celestial body, perhaps Venus or Sirius. PD
