moving light.

Tonight while outside on the street I looked to the sky and saw what appeared to be a moving star. At first I thought that this might be a satellite, since I have witnessed this before. What set apart this sighting was the fact that the light did not follow a elipitcal flight path across the night sky. This light followed what would be considered a normal flight path of a plane close to the horizon. The light was not a airplane since no strobes were observed, and the light maintained a constant level even as it moved away from us. The speed was constant and no erratic turns were observed.
