Venus can appear the brightest but it is not always so, Jupiter's brightness varies much less and is rather bright (brighter than when Venus is not at its peak)
Venus is often considered the most brilliant planet in the sky because of its proximity to Earth and its thick cloud cover that reflects sunlight. Its brightness can sometimes even allow it to be seen during the day.
The brightest visible objects are: -- the sun -- the moon -- the planet Venus -- the planet Jupiter -- the planet Saturn -- the planet Mars -- the star Sirius
The Sun is often considered the most brilliant body in the sky since it is a star that emits light and heat. It provides energy to sustain life on Earth and is easily visible during the day.
That depends on where you are. From the surface of earth, the brightest planet in our sky would be Venus, when it is visible. Sometimes it is behind the sun, and then Mars or Jupiter is brighter.
We cannot say for sure unless you can say exactly when this happened, but it was most likely not a star but the planet Venus.

Just now, Venus is the most brilliant planet, setting a couple of hours after the Sun (December 2013). In the new year it will swing round in front of the Sun, reaching inferior conjunction on January 11. In December the planet appears as a narrow crescent in a small telescope. In late January it will reappear as a brilliant morning star before sunrise, high up in the southern sky as seen from Europe or North America.
VENUS
The most brilliant planet in the solar system is Venus. It appears bright in our night sky due to its thick clouds that reflect sunlight. Venus is often referred to as the "evening star" or the "morning star" depending on its position in relation to the Sun.
