Dripping ball of light

I was driving down some back streets which made the sky really dark. I had the sunroof open that night just to enjoy the night. While driving I looked up through the sunroof and noticed a fairly large orange, redish, yellow ball in the night sky. It caught my attention because it was too large to be a star. When I realized that it wasnt a star or plane I was stunned. I pulled over without taking my eyes off this thing and before I could park it began to drip like a candle. I almost crashed! I got out tripping over my own foot and stood still looking at this crazy site. It dripped again and again!! The drips burned as they fell from this object. What was this ball of light dripping like a candle. It began to change colors (orange/yellow/red) and flickered. Suddenly it flickered out!! Amazing!! All of a sudden it comes back on!! Flickers for a minute and goes out like it was never there. I was stunned. This light was very large to be a star and very hard to miss.
