Orange light moving in multiple directions, then vanishing

I went out for a few minutes in my car to get fast food, and on my drive back home, I saw an orange light in the sky. It did not blink, but slightly pulsated. As far as size, it appeared slightly but noticably larger than stars and planets from my perspective. It moved slowly in the same direction as my car, then turned in an almost 90 degree angle, then turned again a few more times. I kept looking out my car windshield periodically until I arrived home and parked in front of my house. (The restaurant I went to is just about a minute away from my house). After I parked, I kept looking at the light from the driver's side window of my car, which was facing south. The light continued to move and change direction every few seconds. I saw that it was above the clouds, since clouds moving in front of it made it appear more hazy. (The next few sentences will sound cliche, and I understand, but it is the honest truth). I knew I had to get this sighting on camera. I frantically grabbed my phone, opened up the camera, and quickly looked back up to make sure it was there, but it had vanished. I got out of my car and looked up at the sky for a few minutes and scanned for the light, but I could not find it again.
