Orange ball over south Oxford with ring of orange lights normal speed

Myself and wife saw orange object through bay window in front room travelling similar speed to normal light plane/helicopter but immediately differnt in appearance, travelling south/south west in direction. I saw two people in the street (Rose Hill) looking up and pointing at the object.

I collected binnoculars and ran to rear of house. I had difficulty focusing on object but for a brief 5 seconds or so I could see a ring of orange lights (7-10). A light aircraft was travelling the opposite direction and must have had a better view.

The object faded away within 10-15 seconds.
