strange bright orange light hovering in sky, fading in and out , same spot on multiple occasions, darted across sky

it was about 8:00 pm on a wednesday and me and 2 other people were in on the second floor in a room watching tv and i noticed an orange light just hovering in the sky, appeared to close and too bright to be a star. this is the 3rd or 4th time ive seen this object in roughly the same place.the object generally has 2 or 3 planes in its general vicinity, sometimes appearing to head towards the craft only to pass under it. ive seen several other reports of strange hovering orange lights and that is the only reason im reporting this. the light generally hovers for 10-15 minutes sometimes changing intensity then disappears, without actually moving. i have seen the light move on one occasion , very slowly a couple of degrees in the sky then disappears. on the 11th of february we got in the car to pick up a friend from night school and the light was obstructed by trees when we saw what looked a shooting star of the same orangish color of the light flying overhead at a speed not possible for any aircraft ive ever seen, and if it was a meteorite, the odds of it coming from the same apparent direction as the light we saw are most likely astranomical.
