Large light in southern Nevada for over an hour.

I witnessed a very large light hovering above black mountain in Henderson ,NV for over an hour. It was brighter and much larger than Venus, which I could plainly see to the left. At the time of the sighting I was in my car listening to a local talk radio show and someone called confirming what I was looking at. The last time I could see the object It had gained altitude greatly, this was about 6am. Many people had to of seen this due to the duration of the sighting and the population density in the area.
