UFO sighting with orange lights

A long time ago, when I was 9 years old, around 1991, back in my home country, Ecuador, I had a weird sighting during the night.  Here is my story: I was inside my house and my mother asked me to come out and see this weird thing, so I went out and looked up, and there was this definately out of this world flying device.  Since it was during the night, what I could see was somewhat a circular shape, but what I'll never forget are the lights that it had, they were orange, but very soft, they illuminated, yet didnt hurt my eyes when looking at them directly.  The object also made a very soft and nice noise I've almost forgotten know.  The flying object was stationary at about 100m high, it seemed as if it were going down, then my mother got scared, held my hand, and we went back inside.
I've always had that adventurous idea of asking what would of happened if I stayed there a little longer, because the UFO seemed to go down, if you have any comments on this sighting please answer back.  I have always been very interested in extraterrestial life, but sometimes still doubting if mankind has actually had contact with extraterrestial beings.  I appreciate your information.
