What was this bright odd star me and my husband saw

I woke up a little before 5am, to make a coffee and sit outside, i looked at the sky probably north-east to see a very bright star that looked extremely bright, and close the Earth then normal. I woke my husband up to come look, and he to found it odd. It wasn't a plane, satellite, because it wasn't moving, there was also another star that was smaller but also bright right next to it. Me and my husband are travelers and we have never seen anything like this before. I have woken up at 5am before and i have never seen this star?

what was it?
My friend suggests it was Venus..

It's the planet Venus. It's been in the dawn sky for a couple of weeks now, and will be there the rest of the year, moving to the evening sky early next year. There is nothing odd about it, and if you haven't seen it before, it's because you, like most people, rarely look at the sky. The object next to it is another planet, Jupiter.

Yes Venus is in that position at 5 am.
GeoffG and CAB were first with the answer.
I want to just chime in because I notice that Venus today should be right next to the star Aldebaran making them combine into an even larger image. However I wasn't up at 5 this morning so I missed it.

Remove the phrase "and my husband" from your question and you'll discover why you're a candidate for an encounter of the third, or even fourth, kind.

Maybe it was a different planet, or it could be fireball.

I'm thinking Venus as well.

It is indeed Venus. Most folks are accustomed to seeing Venus in the early evening hours, where it appears for roughly half of every year. They then glance at it and say "Oh yeah, that's Venus." When it happens to lie on the other side of the Sun, it is only visible in the morning hours. Since these same folks are not always very active in the pre-dawn hours, they may be surprised to find it there. But it is always in a portion of the ecliptic that is at least relatively close to the Sun - on one side or the other. This is, of course, because Venus is closer to the Sun than Earth is. We are currently falling behind Venus as it zips past us on its inside track around the Sun. Once it loops around behind the Sun, we will again see it during the evening hours.
