Shape: Light

Solid orange light appears near Covina, ca.

My fiancé and I were in our backyard 10 minutes before the stroke of midnight of the new 2010 new year. We were looking up at the sky because the moon was full and bright. We were facing south and we saw this orangish light going across the sky from east to west. It was too high to be a helicopter and too fast to be a plane. The solid light was steadily moving across the sky. As we keep our eyes on it, we notice it begins to slow down. Then it comes a complete stop. It hovers there for about 5 minutes. By the time I found my binnoculars the light, still at a stop, begins to dim and slowly fades away. It was the weirdest thing we've ever seen.
