Initial data
Donald S. Whitehead, Assistant to the Governor of the United States Idaho, USA.
I saw in the western part of the sky "some mysterious object" that looked like a comet. The object seemed to hang motionless in the air quite low above the horizon.
After a while, as if as a result of the rotation of the Earth, he disappeared over the horizon.
Hypotheses
The heavenly bodies
The brightest heavenly bodies in the sky are Venus, Jupiter, and sometimes Mars and, of course, the Moon.
Venus is the bright yellow of the evening or morning star, shining in the sky on the background of evening or dawn. Maximum brightness of Venus can reach up to 4.3 m, and she is the third brightness of the sun in earth's sky after the sun and the moon. It so well reflects the light of the Sun that it is relatively easy to see and day, especially if you know the location. It manifests itself in the form of tiny blinking white dots.
Investigation
D. Menzel, referring to J. A. Heinek, says that this is Saturn shining through cirrus clouds.
