Just a little after 5:00, I was riding my four-wheeler down my yard to the barn to feed the horses and get ready for my rodeo. I looked to the horizon and noticed how pretty the moon was (it was low and orange). So I backed up, and stopped to admire it. As I was looking at it, there was a very bright star above it. It was then I noticed it was moving! It was moving about the pace of an airplane. When I first saw it next to the moon it was in the west. It was headed southeast. I ran to the house and got my father, and he ran out just in time to see it too. It never changed direction, just kept heading in a straight path. We watched it go until it was past the tree line and we could no longer see it. But it was a single bright glowing, round, white object, looking just like a star.
