Bright orange globe light over Oregon Coast

7-16-11 At approximately 10:30pm, 7-16-11, we approached the Oregon Coastline south of Cannon Beach, OR. We came around a curve and between the trees saw a very bright, orange globe of light.

Originally we suspected it was street light shining through the tree limbs. As we came to the street which parallels the coast, we stopped to examine the light. It appeared to be low to the ground, hovering over the water, but with no sound. We watched for probably about one minute and it seemed to lift back into the sky, westward, without a sound.

The orange light appeared to change to more of a white as it vanished into the night sky.

7-17-11 9:30pm, 7-17-11. From the deck we again saw the same type of orange light in the sky. It went up into the sky and then lower towards the ground.
