Me and a few other friends were outside our tents before calling it a night and I looked in the sky above us and there was an orange stationary light. It was a lot larger than the stars and did not appear to be outside our atmosphere but it did appear to be very high in the sky. From the time I noticed it till the time it disappeared about 20-25 sec. had passed. It never moved and no sound came from it. The light it emitted was basically a glow, not very bright but not very dim. It was there then it was gone. We were camping at what we called high camp which was half way up to Jicorita Peak in Carson National Forest in northern New Mexico. We had no idea what it was and so far has been a once in a lifetime experience.
