I was driving down Black's side road going to pick up my dog from the kennel around 6pm. It is dark here at that time in February. I noticed something rising up out of a field over a house roughly 150-200 metres away. It was the colour of fire, so I watched in case it was embers coming from the house and I should call someone. But it was just this one orb, not quite perfectly round, slowly rising, and now that I was stopped and had the window down I noticed there was no sound. It was west of me and rose up moving in an easterly direction. By the time it was overhead it was up nearer to the patches of low hanging clouds. When it was directly overhead (I was hanging out the window to keep watching) it instantly turned off it's glow, but I could still see a shadow moving under the clouds. I don't think it was necessarily casting a shadow, I think I was just seeing the object itself without its light. This was my second sighting of what seemed very clearly to be a non man made flying object, and as I was watching it I said "Who are you? Are you just saying hello?" "Hello" and right at that moment its light went out.
