Bright yellow ball with abrupt movement

While my husband, who is a retired ((deleted)). technician, and myself, a medical ((deleted)), were sitting in our spa outside at about 1915 on 11/04/04 we saw a very large bright yellow circular object in the eastern sky that flew down rapidly for about 30 seconds after we had spotted it. The bright yellow went dimmer, and then we could see some red lights on the outer edge. It then went brighter, and then the bright yellow disappeared for a second or so. It then came back and stayed for about 10 seconds. It then made a 90-degree abrupt turn towards the north.
