I noticed in the sky above me, a stationary orange ball that seemed to be glowing with a slight flicker.On August 8th, approximately 9:30 pm, I was driving home. I was only about a mile from my house in Eldridge, MO.I noticed in the sky above me, an orange ball that seemed to be glowing with a slight flicker.It was stationary and did not seem to be moving other than an occasional flicker. I pretty much came to a complete stop on the road to watch it. I watched it for about 10 seconds, then it began to move higher and as it did so, it quickly decreased in size and disappeared.I have never seen anything like this before. Very unusual and definitely ORANGE! It seemed to be close like when you see a small plane flying above.It only took about 3 seconds for it to disappear into the sky. You could tell it was traveling because it quickly but gradually decreased in size as it moved away.
