I'm not sure if I should use this forum or the random one, but look at the moon!

Does anyone else see a small bright light right near it? I don't know what it is, or if it's something that can be seen from anywhere, or just near here.

Anyone else see it? It's the second brightest thing in the sky behind the moon.

Acutally I take that back. It's not a star, it's not flickering enough. A planet maybe? IT's not moving, whatever it is...

Oh my god! What is it????? It's cool but it's freaking me out because I can't find anything about it on the news yet.

My friend just called around the country so I know it's visible in Ohio, South Carolina, and Vermont.

At first I thought it might have been this asteroid:
