Driving out of work and saw a very intense bright object glowing in the sky. pulled over to make a phone call and watched the object. It was far larger than a plane with its headlights on and much bigger than any visible planets/ stars. Emitted an intense, yellow/pink/orange light. Object was stationary at an angle of approx 35 degrees from my vantage point (sitting in car). Clear sky, some clouds in the distance, object was well in front of them. suddenly, with no obvious movement the object vanished. There were no planes or other aircraft within the area it had been in and no contrails. Watched the area for a couple of minutes before moving off. From its position, one would have seen flashing lights of an aircraft has this have been one. It was not in any usual star clusters and the sky was clear therefore had it been a star it would not have just vanished.The light did not pulse or throb and was certainly not a Chinese lantern as it did not move for the entire time I watched it and there was a reasonable breeze.
