Bright orange light moving slowly across sky in SC.

Over I-77 near Fort Jackson, SC, a bright orange light was seen moving slowly across the sky.

Jupiter and Uranus are currently the brightest objects in the sky (aside from the moon), and said object was about twice as large as the appearance of Jupiter to the naked eye.

We were traveling south and the object appeared to be headed north.
