Large gold glowing ball of light that flies west to east and disappears

I was in my front yard, watering and stargazing when a large glowing gold light showed up in the western sky about the tree tops across the street. At first I thought it was a satellite, but it was very large and very bright. Next thought was that it was a plane, it seemed to be *flying* at a height that a plane would. There was no noise, however. It flew in a direct path over my house, directly over my head, there was no other lights, there seemed to be no visible shape. It was just a big gold glowing ball of light.

As it headed slightly east off into the sky, it stopped glowing, it went from this glowing ball of light to a lightly dimmed star, that was still moving, till I couldn't see it anymore. I don't know if it just disappeared or because it was so dim that it blended in with the other dim stars around it that I just couldn't see it anymore. 10 mins later I went into the backyard and there was an actual US air craft with lots of flashing red and blue ! lights flying fairly low in the area & then I stood out there about a half hour later and there were two more US air crafts much higher in the sky in the same area about 5 mins a part from each other.
