What would a large orange glowing moving ball of light in the night sky be?

Bradenton, Florida, 3/15/08, 2:15am. Driving, saw a large orange glowing ball in the sky. It proceeded to move east, slowly descending, but moving rather quickly across the sky. After a few seconds of glowing, it moved farther away and the glow lightened and in a few minutes dissapeared completely. WHAT did we just see?

What would a large orange glowing moving ball of light in the night sky be?
If the object moved in a straight line, and was visible for 1-5 minutes, moving west-to-east--it could be a satellite. If it flashed or glowed brightly, maybe a meteor or some object decending into the atmosphere.


It was not the space shuttle/ISS. The Bradenton schedules for those are on the link below.
Reply:Moving east, glowing orange, and visible in the sky for a few minutes then descending and disappearing, from Florida, at 2:15am...hmmm.

Reply:A Chinese lantern in the wind?
Reply:In all likelihood you saw either the International Space Station and the space shuttle or some other satellite passing overhead.
Reply:How close was it? and is there any other details that you can describe?
