Characteristics: Lights on object, Left a trail, Changed Colo

Bright white to reddish orange in the sky looked like a shooting star, until it stopped in mid air.

While I was driving to work I noticed what appeared to be a shooting star. A stream of light was trailing behind as normal with shooting stars. I then noticed it stopped in midair and hovered for about two seconds, then the object took a sudden left turn and continued to hover statinary. Object eventually went out of sight. The colorazation was a white to red orange hugh. I have worked around airplanes for many years and have never seen any aircraft act like that. I hope Im not the only one who saw this very amazing! Also looked like it had a red beacon but did not blink.
