On the night of Nov. 20th, at approximately 5 pm (1700 hrs), I was at work and was informed by a fellow employee that there was something in the sky, and that it looked like it might be on fire.I stopped what I was doing and went outside where another employee was already out there and watching a reddish/orange what I thought was a star, possibly Venus.He informed me that there had been 2 of these objects but the other one had disappeared from view. He also told me that they had been closer and larger in size and so were moving away.I continued watching and realized it couldn't be Venus as it appeared to be moving slowly and changing in brightness, from a dull orange to a brighter orange and then back to dull again.There were some clouds in the sky and it was getting dark but I noticed the clouds seemed to be very high in the sky and after about 5 minutes the orange object started to noticeably pick up speed and disappeared behind the clouds.We watched for a few more minutes but the object didn't return. I went outside a few more times that evening but never saw the object again.
