I was in my bathroom smoking a cigarette when someone set off fireworks and I looked out the window. I noticed a massive bright round fluorescent orange light clear the tree tops and apartment buildings. I did not know right away what it was but then I thought it must be a UFO based on the strange movements. It changed directions in a strange manner, not making a turn, more like a 90 degree angle. It hovered for a minute and then started to move slowly. I was over excited (adrenalin rush) and started babbling and yelling for my husband to come and look. We went out the front door and watched the circle fly away slowly, too large and low to be a plane or helicopter. The object made no noise. The item just slowly flew out of our visibility. I called out to my mother in law to come downstairs so I could tell her what we just witnessed. We noticed an aircraft flying fast in the sky right after the object left, but the plane was flying in a different direction.
