Glowing orange sphere hovering at western horizon, disappeared suddenly

Reddish orange glowing sphere seen near western horizon. The object didn't move for several minutes and then suddenly moved down behind a row of trees out of sight after getting dimmer in appearance. When looked at through binoculars, there appeared to be small white flashes of light intermittently around the object, some near to it and some farther away, possibly coming from the orb, but not certain. This is the fourth time the object has been seen at this same time of night in the same place. The glowing sphere was very bright and was mostly orange with some red visible.

We are regular people who live out in the country and often observe the stars since we have a good view of the sky. We observed this incident in our backyard after dark.
