orange light zigzags in the sky over Delft

Me and a friend were chatting whilst watching the skies over Delft. Suddenly i noticed a light zigzagging through the northern sky, as it went from west to east (roughly). It went way too fast to be a plane, yet too slow to be a meteor (and it lasted to long to be one).

It was just a pinpoint of light, and after i pointed it out to my friend, he saw it too. It zigzagged for about 3 times, after which it vanished. I know what a satellite looks like (seen several, among them the ISS), and it didn't look like a satellite at all (satellites don't zig-zag, do they?).

It had an orangy colour to it, and it didn't leave a trail
