I was leaving my house around 9 and my road goes east to west. so i was driving and looked south, as i often watch the stars while driving. i noticed a bright orange-yellow light that resembled a star or planet. i was surprised as i never see a star that bright in the south. i stopped my car and watched it. as i watched it, it faded out and then reappeared right next to the original location. it faded again and reappeared next to that location. then did it once more. on the final reappear, it faded out and didn't return. i've seen this happen twice before now in the same area and direction.
