Duration: 3-4 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Flagler, FL, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

A bright light appeared out of a black sky over the ocean then turned orange and dimmed out.

I was driving north on A1A near the Flagler peir. I could see a clear view of the Ocean with two shrimp boats off shore. To the south about 11 miles behind me were several strikes of heat lightning. I could only see flashes of the lightning from my rear view mirror. Above me was a dark sky with some stars visable. I was glancing up at the sky while also driving when a light appeared out of the dark sky like someone turned on a switch. I did not think much of it at first believing it was just a plane at first, but and light was stationary. So my next thought was it was a helicopter, but, the light turned from white to orange. It looked like the end of a cigarette when someone inhales off it. It had a bright glow and slowly dimmed to nothing.
