Duration: ~3 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Des Moines, WA, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

Light in the sky slowly changes from orange to red as crosses the sky.

I was walking my dog as I most nights from about 8:30 to 9 pm. I live near SeaTac airport (under a flight path) so I am familiar with what aircraft look like landing and higher up in the sky and with normal flight traffic/patterns.

I was walking east and notice an unusual light in the sky towards the northern horizon moving south. The light was changed from orange to red slowly then back, not flashing from one color to the other. If finally disappeared into some clouds.

In the duration of the sighting, spanned about 2/3 of the sky. Immediately I know it was unusual and thought it was a helicopter. I when the landing planes had passed I expected to hear helicopter noise, but it was quiet.

I took some video with my phone and have the video that I can share with you, simply ask.
