Orange light appeared high in the sky went up in a angle and got bigger before disappearing

Date is approximate. Between 3:30-4:30 am, end of September. Working on a airport ramp I looked up in to the distance, saw a orange/yellow/red light (kinda eggish) suddenly appear, no trail , did not see it traveling before it appeared. It appears then heads up in about a 45° angle and gets larger right before it disappeared. Like the light, which is what it appeared to be from my distance, just appeared and vanished within a second. I'm familiar with seeing planes approaching the ramp and it was not that. It was much further in the distance and suddenly went up at an angle. It did not come in to vision like a plane either.
