Single orange orb spotted in Huntington Beach, CA.

I pulled into my drive way and noticed a single orange orb in the northern sky. I initially thought it was Mars. I got out of my car to take a closer look and noticed it was moving slowly from north to south then turn to south-west. The object was larger than typical stars and comparable to venus on a clear night. The orange orb did not have any blinking lights and did not make a sound. Either the light disappeared or went behind the clouds. The phenomenon lasted approximately 5 minutes. Land marks in my view for reference were my power lines in my back yard. This is how I know it was moving and turning. It did not make any abrupt turns or change speeds.
