my friend and i were wrapping up after an impromptu dinner party when we noticed a glowing orange orb traveling from north to south approximately 20 feet above the tree tops.this event was taking place roughly above washington ave, it moved silently with a seemingly deliberate trajectory. this was under the cloud cover of a developing hurricane sandy at approximately 11:00 pm est. it's altitude a remained static, and it's speed seemed to be approximately 45-50 miles an hour. when we first noticed it from our back yard, my friend rushed inside of our house to get my wife to see it from the front yard, but alas it was already out of our range of sight by the time they made it out.
