n amber colored star. It moved under a lot of clouds often seeming to stop cmpletely or to 'bob' up and down. Thank You.

It was New Years Eve 1999. My sister and her husband were lighting firecrackers outside. this was nearing 12;00 a.m. My sister came to my door to say"you have to see this" I went outside not knowing what to expect and what I saw was a beautiful Amber colored light. It was a very sweet, deep color and it looked like a star, except that it was moving,not datring across the sky l;ike a shooting star. This "star" had a very deliberate motion. It move continuously west to east,but not always in a astraight line. It would periodically "bob" up and down. This caught my attention immediately because I know of no plane that could manage these manuevers. Eventually it disappeared into the clouds.
