Bright slow moving light.

I was on road county F outside of Alma Center coming home. To the East about a half a mile away I saw a very bright light, brighter than any of the stars around it. It was fairly low to the ground as the stars were above it. I got my range finder out of my car as I had stopped to observe it. This range finder is also 8x power, so you can use it to view objects. I could see it had some sort of structure to it but it was also very bright so it was hard to make out detail. I was directly in its path as it looked like it was going to pass right overy me. There was no sound at all to the object. It was moving at about 35 to 40 miles per hour estimate. I decided to turn my range finder on it when it looked like it was in range of my finder. I got a reading of 329 yards of of it. Then all of a sudden it turned its light directly off and I couldn't see it. Also, the power cells in my range finder went completely dead. The car was off but it started when I turned the key and I went home to tell my wife and son about what I saw. I thought I would report this as I has bothered me all night and have not gotten any sleep. Has anybody else seen something like this?
