Location: Cocoa Beach, FL, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

strange orange light moving steady east over Patrick air force base.

Was going in the back of my uncle's to grab a beer for the neighbor and I , and when I looked past the trees, probably 6 miles south of my location, I saw what I thought was an airplane.

Then, when I went out front to get a better view, I immediately called my neighbor to come out because it had no aircraft lights on it, and was going east on a straight, and slow flight path. It was a yellowish orange light. My other neighbor happened to be walking his dogs, and he saw it too. While we were watching it, all of a sudden it disappeared after a minute.

The weird part, is shortly after the object's disappearance, I saw an airplane with landing lights going in that same direction/flight path as if it were following the light.

I live just north of Patrick Air force base, which may explain the airplane following the light.
