while driving to work i saw a bright orange object,perfectly round and giving off a strong orange glow.As i was driving to work on the 04/04/99 at 19.15 hrs i noticed a bright orange object moving from south to north-north west. I kept an eye on the object and as i was near my home i went back to tell my wife about it.The object was still very visible at that time so she came out along with our 3 children and observed it to.The object was intensely bright orange and gave off a sort of halo around it,it cruised at an even pace,and made no sound at all.There was no blinking lights nor anything else to indicate an aircraft.As it was dark at this time it looked very bright and im sure other people must have seen it.from our position it seemed to be heading north west.this lasted about ten minuits or so.at the end of the event it seemed to be going higher.I think the thing that struck me most was the brightness of it,and the steady pace it kept,not fast nor slow just even.
