You would need to re-post your question including the time of night and the direction and elevation of the object. Was it on the horizon, or high in the sky?
A UFO (unidentifing flying object) or a wierd shaped astriod or space junk.

What bright light is in the eastern sky at night in southern Oregon?
Jupiter ....maybe...looked at it through our telescope.
When finding helped provide evidence that the planets orbit around the sun rather that the earth?
Venus progresses through phases similar to the Moon. (Galileo's improvements to the telescope meant that Venus was visible as a disc rather than a bright spot.)
What is the first documentation of Venus?
The first documentation of Venus was done by Galileo Gallei in 1610. He noticed a bright object in the he sky when looking through his telescope. It was later on, however, that it was known to be Venus.
Can you observe Venus through a telescope during civil twilight?
Indeed you can. When at its brightest, Venus is about one-fourth as bright as all the rest of the stars (but not the Moon) put together. You can even see it for a bit when the Sun is out.
Why astronomers uses telescope if you can see the planet by naked eyes?
With a telescope, you can see a lot more detail on the planets surface. Without a telescope you can only see bright dots, like surrounding stars, but with a telescope you can make out more - you can see the rings of Saturn for example of the bands and red spot on Jupiter.

Yes. Look at that bright yellow ball in the sky. It is the sun.

We were looking at Venus through binoculars and it seemed to be rotating and you could see black holes then really bright lights all over?
With binoculars, Venus would look like a very bright object. To see more detail, such as dark sports, you would really need a telescope.
What should people do when thesolar eclipse happens?
You should definitely NOT look at the Sun directly, since that may damage your eyes. The Sun is very bright; even during a solar eclipse it's bright enough to damage your eyes. Looking directly through a telescope would be even worse. If you want to watch the solar eclipse, you can project the image from a telescope onto a white sheet of paper, and watch that one.
How was the sun observed?
If you ever want to observe the Sun, DON'T watch it directly; it is way to bright and may harm your eyes. Also, DON'T look at it directly through a telescope or binoculars; that's even more dangerous. You can project an image, with a telescope, onto a sheet of paper or some other white object.
