Yellow light in Colorado Springs

I was driving south on powers heading to work when I saw a yellow light in the distance. At first I thought it was an aircraft but I work at the airport and know where the runway is and it was way off from the runway and it did not have any red or blue flashing strobes. But then I thought it could have been a helicopter because I see them coming from that way all the time but still no flashing strobes, it was moving to slow, and I have seen no aircraft all yellow either. I was still driving trying to get a good look at it when I made a left turn into work and still looking at it when it moved to the east and then it just disappeared. I stopped my truck then and stepped outside trying to see where it went or what happened to it but like I said it disappeared. If it was an aircraft of some sort it must of crashed but there were no reports of any aircraft crashing the next day.
