Orange ball of light moved slowly and then sped up without sound.

I was working at my grocery store tonight and I was collecting carts outside. I look up into the sky and see what I thought was a very bright star. It is a bright orange and a little bigger than common stars you will see. I then notice it moving slowly, there were no flashing lights and no noise coming from it, so it could not be an aircraft. There was no light streaking off of it and the speed was very slow, could not be a comet. It began to move faster and went over store and off into the distance before I could get any photographs or video.
