Bright orb over Germany

Bright orb over Germany
Tldr: Saw an extremely bright orange orb flying in the sky which then suddenly remained stationary for at least 20 minutes. Time: 11:30pm. Location: Siegburg (near Bonn)

My wife and I went for a walk last night at 11:30pm. We noticed an extremely bright orange flying object on the horizon to the east. The area (Siegburg) is the flight path of the nearby airport but this was noticeably brighter than an airplane, considering its altitude and had no other lights. The speed was slow but uneven. It flew right next to the evening star/Venus and stood there motionless. (took about 1 minute to fly from the horizon to the evening star) Light clouds appeared over time and all passed below the orb. The orb was so bright that it remained visible through clouds where the evening star was obscured. After 20 minutes the clouds became too dense and the orb disappeared behind them. I don't want to convince anyone of what we've seen, but maybe people outside of America will look a little more up at the sky.
