Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo
Orange/Red light: Stationary for about 3 or 4 minutes. Then it dimmed its light(s) and took off North... out of sight!
Saw this while relaxing outside on my deck.
There was a full moon, and I was enjoying the light it reflected onto the landscape when I saw an orange/red light: I thought it could be a planet or close star, as it was stationary for about 3 or 4 minutes... (It was over the trees, but I could not tell distance or size of the object.)
Then suddenly it dimmed its light(s) to about 25% illumination and began slowly to travel to my right (north), and then it accelerated quickly and - zoom! - it was out of sight... WOW!
