Hugh lighted area at the horizon moving slowly, then stopped and disappeared at 5:30 A.M.

On February 24, 2009 at 5:30 AM I got up to let my 2 dogs outside, at which time it was still very dark outside. Our house faces North an at a distance on the horizon, over the tree line I could see a very, very large lighted area. I kept watching it wondering what it could possibly be. It was way too large for an airplane or star. I went to 3 different windows and could plainly see the light. It looked as if the light was lighting an area as big as a footbal field or bigger. As I watched, this thing moved slowly from left to right or from West to East and then stopped. I walked into the kitchen and came back and it was gone. It would take a very large craft to light an area as large as I am talking about.
