It is a planet-Jupiter.
The landlord may wonder, can Jupiter see it? Still so bright. Yes, the brightness of Venus and Jupiter among the five planets is amazing, which stabilizes all the stars.
Below I list the evidence that can prove his identity, and the landlord will see if it meets:
1. Position and motion: Now Jupiter rises after 18 and appears on the eastern horizon. Its moving speed is about 15 per hour, and its direction is west, maybe slightly south. If this one is satisfied, it proves that it is not an object in the atmosphere. Today, it is very close to the moon, and it is very easy to recognize.
2. Brightness: brighter than the second brightest star in the sky 10 times or more. No other celestial body can reach this brightness (Venus has not been seen recently).
3. Blink: The landlord may wish to take a closer look at this celestial body to see if it will blink, I believe not. If my guess is correct, it is a celestial body in the solar system.
4. Telescope observation: There are two decisive evidences: four Galileo satellites and a circular surface, both of which should be easy to see. You may only see the former with binoculars.
The landlord might as well find a telescope and pay attention to this star at midnight. See if I'm right.
