Full Description & Details

Five of my friends and I were catfishing at my buddies pond.It was something we often would do, fish maybe till 2 am or so.The weather was great, hot ,clear summer night and as we live in a rural area it was dark no city lights to brighten the sky and the stars were beautiful.We were sitting at a picnic table so some of us were facing east and some faceing west.I dont recall who noticed the light first but we all saw it.It was hovering above the western horizon,it looked to be the size of maybe a golf ball held at arms length .It was bright orange and kind of shimmered like heat waves do.as we watched it it would shimmer and move to the right or to the left up or down in no order.As it moved it would change color from orange to red and then shimmer and move back each time changeing color again .It was fascinating we watched it for over an hour trying to figure out what it was and everyone agreed it was a ufo of some sort.All of a sudden it turned bright orangeish and shot across the sky from west to east and out of sight.As it moved it seemed to change its altitude rapidly not smooth but kind of jerky.it traveled as fast as anything i have ever seen .We all knew we had seen something very unique.We joked about it but filed no report others had to have seen it as it was a standout in the night sky.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

not at all nothing moves like that or that fast
