Big Orange Ball sitting in field behind house

I was coming home from working the late shift one night and as I got about a block from my house I could see a big orange ball behind my house. It was about the size of a three story house, It looked like the moon but was sitting in the field. I pulled my car up beside the house jumped out and was standing in the road looking at this thing when my wife came to the door and asked what I was looking at. I told her to come out and look, as I said this the ball of light begain to move away. I motioned for her to come quick! She ran out just in time to see it as it was leaving. It moved very fast and was gone in seconds.
