It seems that there was a really big one in December
NASA - Biggest Full Moon of the Year
I wasn't aware that it looks bigger sometimes - called Perigee Moon
The link explains it

Re: bright light

Right now, venus is at 0h 16 43.0s x 5 deg 9' 0.0"
so could quite possibly be Venus,but i know the ISS has been visible for last couple of months

Re: bright light

I'm pretty sure its Venus too, think its usually the brightest object we see. You can see sirius "the dog star" too but thats not quite as bright!

Re: bright light

It won't be the secret Planet X - that is sneaking in - and is only visible in the Antarctic using infrared
