Small orange orb gaining very fast diagonal altitude and pausing for a second about 5 times before speeding west over head.

I noticed the object because of the rate of climb and pause. It would ascend around 2 or 3 hundred feet diagonally southward and pause for a half second. It did this a few times and then flew directly westward with no pause after it's last climb at a ridiculous speed. There was ample daylight still as it headed west, but no telltale sign of any type of aircraft body. It remained a dull orange colored orb as it flew out of sight.
