Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Seen large ball of light, orange in color, not moving, approximately 15 degrees above the horizon, much too big to be a flare

I was in the process of parking my car at my home when I noticed to the southwest approximately 15 degrees above the horizon a large ball of light, orange in color. It was brighter near the center then the outer edge. The object appeared to be approximately 5-10 miles away. It didn't appear to be moving. I observed the light for only a few seconds then looked down to put my car in park and when I looked back up it was gone. I have never seen anything like this object before. If I had to say what it reminded me of I would say a military flare but the light was much larger than any flare I've ever seen even up close.
