Posted: 7/20/2014
Location: Almeria (Spain),
Shape: Oval
Duration: ~1 minute
Characteristics: There were lights on the object, There was an aura or haze around the object
Round white light with red center vanishes in the distance with the stars after watching it for a minute

Me and my wife were at our hotel balcony that was next to the sea in a nature reserve called Cabo de Gata, in Almeria, Spain, when as we were looking at the stars in the sky we saw a light that resembled a chinese lantern as it was red in the center and white around the border and in a circular shape.

We discarded the idea of a chinese lantern when it did not burn up but continued rising until it vanished with the stars without changing shape. I have seen many chinese lanterns and it was not one, I have also checked the heavens above web and it was no satelite as none were above or near that location on that date, no ISS so I am baffled and looking for answers...
