I was walking back from my shop to my house and looked up. The sky was partly overcast, but no rain, a few stars were visible. My attention was drawn to an orange/red light coming from the northeast, heading southwest. It was moving fairly slow, and was below the cloud cover. There was no visible flashing of the light that I could see, just a steady orang/red glow. I listened for the sound of jet or prop driven plane, but could not hear any noise.I called my wife using my cell phone and asked her to come outside. That was at 21:55 PST. My wife came outside and just after she did, the object stopped moving. It remained stationary for roughly a minute. My wife went to find our digital camera. The object started moving again, a bit slower than before, but now it had changed it's direction slightly, now heading more south.By this time, my 13 year old daughter had come outside as well and watched as the light continued south. We finally lost sight of it as it went into the cloud cover. At no time did we ever hear any noise coming from the light, even after it has passed over us.
