Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was going out to the country to stargaze. Now, I live in a small country town anyway, but I was going out to the country for pure dark skies. I pulled out of my driveway and noticed a large spherical bright light red "object" (think of a lighter colored Betelgeuse) in the northwestern skies.
This was bigger than any star I've seen, but not quite as big as the moon. I think somewhere between a star and the moon. I thought it could have been Saturn, because Saturn is out this time of year. I dismissed this however because it was still relatively early in the evening and Virgo (the constellation in which Saturn is viewed) was not out yet.
Also, this thing was a monster. Like I said, no star or planet could compare to this "thing" in size. Driving to the end of my street and turning right I looked to the northwest again and noticed the sphere had disappeared. Driving for a little longer, about 40 seconds, I saw some "thing", flying through the sky. Not like any plane I've seen before at night.
I've not seen a plane travel that slow, not that it was moving slowly, but also, what it was I saw was definitely lower in the atmosphere than any plane travels. I also noticed the lights on it were not like a plane lights either. There were bright white-blue lights that appeared to be all over the "thing". It look like it could have been rectangular in shape.
Startled by all of this (I couldn't believe what I was witnessing!) I pulled over my car and got out. The "thing" then flew toward the northeastern sky and was obscured from my view from trees.
