I went outside tonight at about 7:45pm to look at the sky since it was very clear. I saw a number of planes and sattelites. All the planes had some combination of red and green lights with strobes and the sattelites were just faint little points of lights (like small stars) moving in one direction. At about 8:15 pm I saw a dull orange sphere of light as I was facing south, the object was moving west to east at about 30 degrees above the horizon. It appeared to be uniform in color and moving at a relatively slow speed. It's size was about a 1/4 of a fingernail at arms length. I observed for a bout 2 min before it went out of view behind some trees. I saw 3 other aircraft fly that same general path and they were all identifiable as aircraft having red/green lights with strobes. This one was obviously different. I have never seen a UFO before and certainly not one that I would consider extraterestrial and I'm not sure this one classifies as such but it was different than all other aircraft that I witnessed tonight and I truly don't know what it was. The only reason I am reporting this is because it matches a report from somebody near the East Coast. I didn't have my camera, so no pics, sorry.
