Orange object approximate 2 minute sighting.

On the evening of July 4th, my son and I were in the backyard, as he was letting off some fireworks. I was sitting in a chair facing north a few feet from where he was at. I was watching the fireworks that he let off, as well as some others in the neighborhood. I was looking east up in the sky. I saw a small light, thinking it was the remains of someone's fireworks.

As I kept watching, it moved and got bigger. It was heading SW in the sky and was orange in color. It appeared to be oval shaped but looked like there was a smaller area on the top also orange. The light was solid and did not blink. Due to all the fireworks around us, it was noisy, but in moments of silence I could not hear any noise coming from the object.

I kept watching until my view was obstructed by a tree, that was close by. I jumped up to see if I could still see, it but it was gone. It either disappeared, or went behind the tree where I could not see it any more.

My son saw it also, but was intent on his fireworks, so did not pay much attention.
