Bright orange ball with white lights.

On my way home me and a friend walked along a street, when i noticed a bright orange object in the sky. I t was a clear night with no clouds, the stars were out and you could see planes flying with their lights on. I noticed this orange ball in the sky, it was 95% orange (bright) and 5% white (litlle glimpses of white light) at first we just thought it was a plane or helicopter, but seen as we had already seen a plane and a helicopter nearby, this object was totally different.

It moved very quick and lasted in our location for about 15 second before moving off at a quick speed. The object did not stay still or hover at any time, but it moved constantly. What attracted our attention to it was it immense bright orange light with looked amazing in the black night sky. Secondly, it moved very very fast. It did not dissapear in a zap or a second, but it moved accross our path at a tremendouse speed, atleast 10 to 20 times faster then any aeroplane was moving in the sky. it was moving so fast that it came accross our location, moved straight over head, and kept going untill we both lost its visibilty - all in the space of 15-16 seconds.

After the object moved in the distance, we both said what on earth was that, did u see how fast it moved?! There could be a logical explanation for this, but having spoken to a few people with aircraft experience about this, none seem to know what type of plane/helicopter craft could move this fast, and that emits a bright orange light and is a ball//circle shape.
