Orange ball observed by dozens

Out side of Arkadelphia returning to Camden on state hyway car was stopped at intersection we saw the ocupants watching the sky. My Mother-in-law her husband, myself, my wife and her brother all witness a large orange glowing ball witch appeared to be rotating in the sky at around 30 degrees and to the north of us over the woods. The distance was to distant to be determined. We continued on for 20 or so minutes when a small plane approched the ball and it seemed to disapear into itself at a very fast rate. After the small plane passed it returned to the same position where it remained until we reached home some 10 miles norh east of Camden. We called the local radio station to see if anyone else observed the craft and they said they had received dozens of calls. The total trip was over 100 miles and lasted 2 hours and the craft remained visible the entire trip. Same location, same intensity and appeared to be the same size even after traveling such a lon distance.
