One large orange orb moving unlike normal aircraft and without sound then it flashed faster and faster until it wasn't there anymore.

I was with my aunt my mom and my grandma coming home from the store, it was late and we lived out on a farm near the airforce base. My grandpa was a lieutenant colonel and we always watched the aircraft but this was different. I noticed it first and told my family to watch with me and they did, there was a giant orange orb of light over the horizon and it seemed like when we stopped to watch it it came towards us almost like in a slow zig zag it was turning too tight even for a helicopter. It made no sound. At a certain point it came straight forward then stopped and it seemed like it was very close and then it started flashing and it was so bright it was like day time! It flashed faster and faster until it wasn't there anymore.
