Orange "ball" slowly comes over driveway

Around 7:30 pm my son and I were outside he was playing in the snow we had gotten the day before halloween and i was watching the stars as I always do on clear nights. I watched what appeared to be a star flying through the sky ( i see these often but tonight there were several) I watched it as it traveled down the horizon and disappearing over trees and the end of my driveway. A few minutes later I see an orange Ball poke out from the tree line at about 15,000 feet up. (we have airplanes and helicopters over our house at least every hour this was much lower then flying range) I grabbed my son and brought him up the porch as I didn't know what this thing was going to do. The orange ball slowly paraded over our driveway silently moving as it was about lined up with our house my wife came out I yelled for her to come quick and we watched it increase in speed and moving at a 45 degree angle into the sky and appeared to either park or land on a star because when! i went out the next night it was still stationed where it stopped assuming it stopped and didn't land or drive by out of sight.
