firey orange light moving smoothly and silently in the sky until disappearing

The bright orange firey light moved very smoothly through the night sky infront of our path and carried on into the distance it was completely silent, and didn't change speed or direction. It continued to get smaller and smaller until finally disappearing.

Me and my partner were walking home when we saw the strange object, we are unsure of what it may have been but both agreed it was not an aircraft as it was a single orange non flashing light that moved too fast and made no noise at all.

Unfortunately it was too dark to capture any footage on my camera, despite the light from the object being very bright.
