Amber/Orange sphere witness at evening outdoor birthday party South of Hemet,Ca

Around 7:45-8pm at an outdoor birthday party I witnessed a bright amber/orange light at about 55 degrees due south.  The light was noticably bright amber/orange.  I called to others attention.  The light was slowly moving in a N/W direction, then stopped and hovered for about 30 seconds then slowly dimmed to darkness.  Witnesses were perplexed as to what it was and began to rule out possibilities.  As the party continued, about 4 minutes later the object light return in a different location, same horizontal altitude, but a bit father N/W.  As I drew witnesses to its attention again it began dimming within 30 seconds and once again disappeared.  It did not return.  The distance of the object to our location appeared to be over the Temecula or Pala Mesa area.
