2 stars moving together separated by a distance of about 8 inches.

I was outside with my neighbor drinking beer in my yard. I saw Venus and several stars. Two of the stars I saw were moving together very slowly. The only reason I noticed this was because I saw them through the branches of a tree in my yard and watched them get blocked out by the bare limbs. I brought what I saw to my neighbors attention and he too couldn't explain it. It looked like one bright star and one dimmer start moving with it. It was the weirdest thing I have ever seen, but I didn't see any structure at all. It seemed to be higher than the thin clouds that were forming and we were able to watch it for about a full minute before they both vanished. Is there a place I can report this and also check to see if anyone else saw it? By the way, I live near 5th St. and Cheltenham Ave.
