Characteristics: Lights on object

at around 7:20pm i steped ouside for a after dinner smoke. looked up to in the sky looking at the stars , and saw an extremly bright light not sure what it was but after about an half an hour of watching it, there was a quick bright flash to the right of it. aparently we are suposed to be seing venus right now, but it seemed to be way to bright and ive never seen anything so bright before, and well that quick flash just off to the right of it well that really got me thinking it was something else. i took pics bwith a 4 megapixel camera at full zoom pic looked diferent. can anyone help to explain this. it did seem to stay in one place for awhile. then move , then stop again then just went away just like the moon moves. thank u for your time and patience.

NUFORC Note:

We do not know what caused the flash, alluded to above, but the bright light may have been Venus, we suspect. PD
