Yellow disk over Stevenage

I am not entirely sure what it was.

I was in my aunts garden, bringing in wood from the garden to put on the fire when I then first saw the disk. It was flying at around 2000 ft and seemed to be slowly drifting down from the sky to about 1500-1400ft. It was clearly a disk and was yellow, and was covered in a thin gray haze which to me looked a bit like steam. As I have said, it was yellow with an orange rim. All a saw was the bottom side of the disk which appeared to have small blue lights flashing randomly. I am not sure if they were lights or just reflections. I watched this for about 40 seconds and then it just vanished in thin air, there were hardly any clouds at all. Almost as soon as I had stepped inside, I saw the disk again through the window. This time it was much lower down, probably only 500ft above the roofs of the houses, but a lot further away from me than before. It was also traveling much slower than before, probably only jogging pace. It seemed to maintain altitude and I was able to estimate the size of the disk. I would say it was about 80ft in circumference and around 15ft from the bottom to the top. This time I was partly able to see the top of the disk, and it looked exactly the same as the bottom. The gray haze was still around the disk, but I could not see any of th e blue flashes I had seen before. This time, I was able to see the object for just over a minute. I went outside to get a better look at the disk, I could no longer see it. The sky's were almost completely cloudless, so I don't know where it went after that.
