Orange Light Over Marshalltown Iowa

Date: March 13, 2011
Time: Approx: 8:15 p.m.

At around 8:15pm tonight, March 13th, 2011, while standing outside of our church in the parking lot, a friend I was talking to looked up and pointed to the sky and asked me what is that? I looked up, and coming out of the northeast sky and moving toward the southwest was a single soft glowing orange spherical light.

At first I thought it was life flight helicopter circling, preparing to land at the helipad across the street in front of our church, but then we both noticed that there was no noise. I then pointed the light out to 3 other individuals in the parking lot. I noticed other people in the parking lot were also watching it. It continued moving in a southwesterly direction, and then it appeared to begin to gain altitude, but still maintaining the same speed.

The orange light then slowly faded out of sight. The total time that we watched the light was around one minute. The sky was clear. The temperature was 32 degrees. Ages of the witnesses were from 18 to 48. I did call the WHO 13 news radio station in Des Moines, Iowa to see if anyone else had seen the orange light. No one else had. I hope this is of some assistance. I have never seen anything like this before.
