Shape: Circle

Red balloon shaped object seen moving right to left across the western sky just after midnight.

A red circle seen moving from right to left across the western sky. The object was moving at a moderate speed and faded out of view all of a sudden.

Using binoculars, the shape of the object seemed to look more like a balloon. There was an orangish glow in the lower part of the object, making it look like a flying lantern. The sighting lasted for less than a minute, until the object faded out of view.

The object did not have any sort of resemblance to an aircraft. There were no flashing lights. It did have some resemblance to a hot air balloon, however, it seemed to be moving faster than a hot air balloon. It also seemed a bit too small for a hot air balloon. Also, the way it faded out of view was mysterious.
