Bright orange ball moving slowly

I don't know the exact time but I was driving east in chesterton Indiana. It was around 6 to 7 at night. It was still light out. I saw a orange ball above the tree line. I have lived in town for over twenty years. The orange ball was large and looked like a perfect circle. It looked like the light was above 80/94 highway. The light was stationary then started moving below the tree line. It wasn't the sun or any advertising signs. I have never seen anything like it before. It saw it for less than a minute. This is twice in one year I have seen lights I can't explain. I placed a report in August of this year. I wanted to let you know I looked every night for a week after sighting and it was not there again. So I know it wasn't a star or planet. This object I observed with my binoculars changed in sequence to four different colors in a pattern. This was the August sighting. I didn't want to report the orange ball because I was afraid no one woul! d believe me since I had posted a different sighting in August. Then I saw that someone in Indy and Chicago saw a simular thing. Many people had to have seen this orange ball. It was right over a very major highway in and out of Chicago. Thanks.
