I noticed the light getting brighter and brighter and pointed it out to my dad and we slowed down and watched it continue to get brighter and brighter until it started looking like huge headlights.

So its really dark, like no lights anywhere dark, just the stars and moon (thought I can't remember if they were out).

There were about 6 of us outside and we were looking for shooting starts. We saw what looked like a satellite, just larger, and moving about the same speed as the other satellites. It started to grow larger and brighter as it moved across the sky, and by this point we were all watching it. By the time it was roughly half way across the sky it was as large as plane lights appear to be on a commercial flight flying at cruising altitudes. So needless to say, this was incredibly large for what we once mistook as a satellite.
