Object of light seen in the sky

I was driving north bound on highway 160 in Fort Mill. I was about 30 seconds from the intersection of Gold Hill road and Highway 160. On my left (driver's side) towards the Tega Cay/ Lake Wylie area I saw a yellowish white light in the shape of a disc in the sky. There was no one behind me so I slowed down to about 20 mph. The white color was only on the outside of the light almost like a very thin, dull halo. I did not see an actual metallic disc but light in the shape of a disc like it was was glowing. It stayed still in the same spot for about 12-15 seconds. Then towards the top of it the light brightened a white color and then the object just vanished. I did not turn my head, look back and then it was gone. I had my eyes on it the whole time and it just vanished.
