A yellowish white orb that was viewed from about 20km away. it was about 8pm there was low cloud cover which cut off the tops of the mountains. the glowing orb hovered in front of the mountain for about 5 minutes about 1,000 feet above the ground. the orb then slowly ascended into the clouds and disappeared. the fact that the orb was in front of the mountains rules out it being a star, the moon, a satellite, a planet etc. the orb was constant and did not flash ruling out a helicopter and was stationary so could not be an aeroplane. it was not a drone as for me to be able to see the orb from the distance that i was at means that it must have been considerably large. i did have my phone with my but i did not take a picture as i was too transfixed by the object and did not want to look away for a second to miss something. it just never even really occurred to me to even take a photo or video of it which i regret now. i was not the only one to witness this my brother and my cousin were with me and they say it, which proved to me that i wasn't just seeing things. i cannot say whether it has a definitive shape or whether it was even solid, the best way i can describe it is just a ball of light.
