Glowing Object moving West to East in North Phoenix

Thursday, September 09, 2010 8:45pm North Phoenix, AZ I spotted an orange glow moving from West to East along the 101 Freeway in N. Phoenix. Orange glow was spotted about 15 degrees west of my location moving easterly at high speed. It disappeared at about 20 degrees above the horizon in about 5-6 seconds at what I believe was approximately 2000 to 3000 feet in elevation above my home. No sound or shockwave was evident, no vapor trail, only the sound of chirping crickets.

The sky was cloudless and winds calm. As the object moved directly overhead the neighborhood dogs began barking as if startled and as soon as the object disappeared they stopped. Airplanes in a pattern for Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport were plainly visible along with the outline of the aircraft and cross the pattern at about 5000 feet at 150 knots. No outline was visible with the glowing object which I would describe as the glow of a toaster against a wall and not that of a nozzle of a fighter jet.

I witnessed a similar object hovering in the same neighborhood about 2 weeks earlier then moving to the north at a very low altitude and speed as it disappeared behind a home.
