A very fast moving light/object.

There was only 1 object. The color of the object was very bright yellow/orange. The object I saw was almost as bright as a star, but not perfectly round. At first it made strange movements, for example it went to the right and stopped suddenly, then it went to the left and stopped again. Even though it was far away, it was moving very fast. It moved left and right like this for about 5 minutes and suddenly it started to draw a circle in the sky. After 1-2 minutes, it got closer and fell while turning, making neither light nor sound as it fell. By the way, I'm not sure if the object fell because a tree blocked my view as the object was falling downwards. I saw this light very above the Black Sea.
