UFO sighting report

Date: 1-1-2009 time 19:00-19:05
My position Groesbeek, street: Stekkenberg, Netherlands, looking south-east direction Kleve / Weeze Germany.
Weather at the time: humid > 80% clouds temp - 0.5 dgr C, freezing weather all day, Almost no wind at the time and during the day, it was dark

Coming out of my garage I saw a bright orange light shining through a leafless tree. It was moving in a way you can call dancing/hovering it was not flashing the colour remained the same but the intensity varied. No other strange object sighted other the an airplane left of it.

I asked my wife to have a look she saw it as well.

I asked her to get the binoculars, she got them and I had the time to focus on the object It looked like a point , so either a very small object or far away, (the latter being less obvious because of the clouds).

The object seemed to move in a circular pattern "out of the tree" to the left moving away from me and dimming out.

No sounds heard.

(binoculars type: bresser 10*50)

My conclusion: no fireworks, no helicopter, no airplane, no mirroring, disco lamps on clouds, no satelite, no star, planet or moon, no falling star, nearest possibility ball-lightning.
