Red/orange light seen east of Madison, WI.
I noticed a reddish/orange colored light directly east above the tree line from my balcony. It looked strange enough for me to stop and actually watch for a few minutes. It was hard to say how far it was from me, but I would guess between 2-5 miles... Which would make the light technically above Cottage Grove, WI, and not Madison, WI, where I was located.
Estimated at about 500-700ft in the sky. It was likely located above farm fields. I watched the light hover for ~3 minutes before it began to fade into a smaller light. It faded within 5 seconds to 20% of its original brightness and began moving south east and appeared to be moving further away. It followed this path for about a minute before it disappeared into the sky above the tree line. There were no clouds in the sky.
