LARGE CIRCULAR DISK APPEARS FROM NOWHERE, THEN MOVES EAST AND FLAMES OUT

AT 4:OO AM I WAS UNABLE TO SLEEP, SO I WENT INTO THE BACKYARD BECAUSE IT WAS A NICE NIGHT NO CLOUDS AND STILL WARM OUTSIDE. I NOTICED A BRIGHT STAR OR PLANET AND BECAUSE OF LACK OF CITY LIGHTS YOU COULD SEE THE ENTIRE SKY AND ALL THE STARS. HAVING WITNESSED SEVERAL UFO EVENTS OVER THE YEARS IN RENO,I REMEMBER THINKING NOW WOULD BE A PERFECT TIME FOR AN OCCURANCE, GIVEN THE TIME OF NIGHT.NO SOONER THAN I THOUGHT THAT AND WAS LOOKING AT THE STAR IN THE NORTHEAST SKY,WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE A HUGE YELLOWISH DISK APPEARED, LARGER THAN THE STAR I WAS LOOKING AT AND IT WAS TOTALLY STATIONARY FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS, THEN IT STARTED TO SLOWLY MOVE EASTWARD.IT THEN STARTED TO FADE AND LIKE A FLAME BEING EXTINGUISHED, IT DISAPPEARED.BEING A FORMER PILOT, I KNOW IT WAS NOT AIRCRAFT
