Characteristics: Lights on object

Amber light seen above Newark, Delaware. Aprox 3:30am

I saw blinking intense amber light that I first mistook for a planet. After looking back to the sky I noticed it had moved a drastic amount in the sky. I put my head on the windowsill to keep my head steady and noticed it move from a static position to a constant velocity for maybe 3 seconds and then stop with no acceleration/deceleration. It was snowing that night (the light was intense compared to streetlamps around it), but I thought that I could make out a feint circular shape. I have been fascinated with flight since I was young and I have never heard/seen of any aircraft moving like this.
