I was sitting in the living room watching tv. i just saw a small orange light in the distance out of the corner of my eye. didn't think much of it. i thought it was a planet that is visable in the fall out of the same window. then after a few min i noticed it seemed much closer and thought it was blinking. i went and got my elderly mother to come look at it,my two adult children were out at the time. mom and i watched it for a few min i said that it looked to be changing colours she thought so too. i couldn't find the binoc's so i got my gun with a scope to look at it. by this time it was moving. i put the scope on 9 power and went out on the deck. i put the gun on top of the bird feeder to keep it still and looked through the scope. i could see it very clearly. it looked like a cone with a slightly domed bottom. the bottom was orange with a soft white light coming off it. the thing its self looked like shimmiring metal or glass with so many different colours it seemed so crazy i didn't know what to think. then their was a flash and it changed shape to what looked like a dumb bell like shape. when this happened mom said did you see that flash of light! she couldnt tell it changed shape with her eye but i could clearly see it in my scope.This shape was only for a few seconds then it changed back to a cone. by now(maybe 10-15min) it was getting behind some trees. i could see it only for another min or so and it was gone.
