Moving orange light of irregular shape over Antelope CA

About 10:30, in Antelope, CA, was watching television in my living room, noticed a bright orange light of irregular shape shining through the window despite the drapes being closed.

I wrote it off as a helicopter search, ten minutes later same window same light, I became a bit alarmed that the helicopter was not making any noise, and a bit alarmed that a helicopter was looking at my backyard with a searchlight. Normally my dogs would be going crazy, but they were oblivious to anything going on.

It took me about 5 seconds to get outside, the object was not a helicopter. I started thinking a drone of some kind, still no noise, and no definition to the object. It was not shining an orange light anywhere, it was as orange light.

It looked like fire, it had moved about 75 degrees to the left (west) and was also about a third the original size, like it had moved away from my location going north.

I yelled my wife awake and she came down to see the light. By then is was much smaller, like a giant star, still orange.

It moved west to east about 90 degrees, then straight north with a small rise is elevation until it disappeared.
