Well smartass, the constellations of Cetus and Pisces which is where Venus is correctly at, at that time and location provided by your link, are absolutely nowhere near the constellation of the southern cross CRUX which is the reference point Steve gave as being close to the object in query... put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Its not hard to find Venus.. we were looking for something else.

I also find your claim of a giant GREEN comet (Lulin) being the Hopi BLUE star to be amusing.

Ok Steve.. at the location of Recife, Venus is directly west moving downwards.. it totally disappears just after 7pm.

CRUX (the southern cross) is in the southeast and doesn't rise until about 8:30 pm.. CRUX is not very close to the ecliptic meridian so we can safely rule out ALL of the planets.. (unless the object is a fair distance directly ABOVE CRUX which would place it near the ecliptic, even so the nearest planet around that time is Saturn but it is a 'very long way away' in the upper left if you are looking at CRUX).

I suggest looking at http://www.heavens-above.com/
to see the position of the ISS (international space station).

So far we have a UFO

peace out, no hard feelings GaiaLove (gaylove?) im just a bit grumpy and in need of a beer.. all the best,
