Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Orange light hovering and maybe very slowly floating to the North.

At approximately 05:05 AM while looking out my window facing Northwest on an overcast morning. I saw an orange light just above a hill in the distance. From my house to the top of the that hill is approximately 3,858 feet away (there is a valley between my hill and the one mentioned). There were no visible blinking lights. Just a solid orange light. There were no stars out, as it was overcast. I watched it approximately 10 minutes. It seemed to just hover stationary. But then it seemed it might have been very slowly floating more to my right (northern) but hard to say for sure if it was moving. I could not hear any noise coming from it. While watching it, the light disappeared. I continued watching for another 5 minutes. But saw nothing else.
