If anybody out there knows anything about the night sky, I could use some help.

.

I walked outside at 1850 HRS to feed Sadie.


I happened to look up at the sky (which is EXTREMELY clear tonight for living in a well lit city).  


Directly to the West, I saw two amazingly bright lights that I can not ever remember seeing.  The brightest was at about 2 o'clock, and the other "not quite as bright" was at about 4 o'clock.


For a point of reference, I looked immediately overhead, and saw Orion at something like 11 o'clock.


I went inside and got The Mrs. to come outside and look.


It was NOT my imagination.  She saw 'em, too, and was just as baffled.  She'd never remembered those lights, either.  And, over the years we've done a lot of looking at the sky.


Mostly her.


Just sayin'...


We stood there for a long time trying to figure out what those amazingly bright lights were.


She thought that maybe they were planets.


Anyway...if y'all happen to know what those two amazingly bright lights in the Western Sky are, I'd appreshunate the answer.
