Stationary light above Roanoke City Virigna From dusk to 9-10pm every night.

I was on my way home from work it was still day light outside and we we in Salem heading home. We stopped and noticed 8 -10 metors in braud day light i called my son in S.E Roanoke and asked him it he seen them. At home he went on the porch and said yes 8-10. we both also noticed jet aircraft were following a couple. they went away and we thought there was 1 more that did not have a burn trail. We were traveling I81 581 home from salem at 55-60 MPH and the light we thought was a meteor appeared brighter than any object in the sky. When i got home the light was still in the sky. It was the 2nd brightest object in the sky except for the moon. The light appeared stationary and was not outside the atmosphere as normal stars are it was to low in the sky to be a star. My father has witness the same light every evening since sept 2013 it appears at dusk stays 3-4 hrs and dis-appears. I contacted local media and ask if any report had been filed and was informed no.! I will monitor it tonight again and is it reappears i am going to the Roanoke star to get better view. Stars and planets do not disappear hrly on clear night and are bright enough on a cloudy night to puncture the low altitude clouds and form corna as this light does.
