It is low, it looks like a star, it is observed for about 30 minutes in the night... Everything screams for an astronomical explanation. Unfortunately no direction is reported.
A good candidate is Venus. From this place at this date and time, it is only 9° high, houses and buildings to hide it certainly soon, it is below the horizon at 11:58 p.m.
Probable Venus.
