Extremely Large Circular Object Glowing In Sky Above Clouds.

I have not reported this before because i never knew i could submit this online. I was 17 at the time walking home with my friend when we crossed through a park between 2 streets, We noticed things suddenly light up slightly and the clouds were glowing orange, almost directly above us was a huge circle above the overcast cloudy sky. It sat there hovering for about a minute (possibly more because i was literally freaking out when i seen it) then in less than one second it darted straight infront of us and hovered on the horison for about 30 seconds, darted to the right and hovered for around 5 seconds then shot straight ahead again and disapeared. Once it disapeared my friend said "thats going to be covered up" and i was in a massive panic, my friend tried to calm me down and we continued to walk home shortly afterwards. I got inside and told my mum and she laughed, I literally started crying because I had no idea what I had just seen, my sister sat down with me and i explained everything to her before going to bed about 2 hours later.
