Characteristics: Changed Colo

Brigh orange light seen in the sky over Orange County, California

I noticed the object moving in a North East direction. It was a solid deep orange color. No flashing lights. The Object moved quickly in North East direction then stopped and changed direction to the south. Then quickly stopped again and did not move, it just hovered for about a minute.

The light changed color to a white then dimmed a bit then disappeared completely. It did not move again out of site it just disappeared.

The light of this object was very bright and was not lit like an aircraft. It did not move like an aircraft. It was too bright to be satellite and satellites move in a large arc path.

Could anyone tell me what this may have been?.

I did film object with video camera

NUFORC Note:

The planet, Mars, would be in the eastern sky, at the time indicated, but if the object, in fact, moved, as reported above, clearly, it could not have been that planet. PD
