Orange light grew in size/intensity while stationary, flew north, stopped, then disappeared.

It was a very clear sky that evening. I noticed an orange light that stood out from the rest of the stars. I figured it was a planet, so I focused my attention on the light. The light began to grow in size/intensity. The light was stationary at this point. After about 10 seconds it began to move in the north direction. It moved far enough that I had to turn my head to keep eyes on it. The movement was at a moderate speed. After about another 10 seconds of movement it stopped. The intensity reduced to what I initially saw and it remained stationary for another 10 seconds before it disappeared. No sound during the sighting.
