Characteristics: Lights on object

Bright sphere at night

We were walking into a restaurant and I noticed what I thought to be planet Jupiter due to the brightness in the sky but then I realized Jupiter was also visible. I used a sky watching app to confirm which light was Jupiter. The witnessed light was stationary and silent, approximately 50 - 60 degrees from horizon. Angle made between Jupiter and other light source was approximately 30 degrees, unknown light source having higher position. We continued on in to the restaurannt. Upon leaving the restaurant I checked for the object and it was no longer visible (approximately 30 minutes elapsed).

Skies were clear. I am somewhat familiar with aircraft traffic patterns as we live near a major airport.
