Orange flaming disk slowly descends vertically and disappears behind obstructions.
I was coasting to a stop at the corner of Stanford Drive and Route 281, when I looked east northeast, and saw a very bright, flaming orange disk floating in the sky 250-2000 feet above RT. 11, or the hills to the east of RT. 11.
Motionless for a few seconds after I spotted it, it slowly descended vertically until it disappeared behind some trees or homes.
I judged the object's size to be the diameter of a large house or a bit bigger. It had a perfect disk shape, like a cat food tin.
I heard no sounds or experienced any other sensations. However, my car's windows were all closed.
I was very curious, and wanted to drive closer, but I was already late for work.
I turned up Rte 281 heading north, and tried to catch another glimpse, but did not see it.
