Strange lights in the sky

[Cardiarms]

A large orange light, moving quite quickly, West to East over Armley about 9pm. No engine sound or running lights. Spooky.

Yes a strange phenomenum usually associated with longer hours of daylight and higher temperatures between roughly May and August.Its appearance during what is historically considered to be Autumn is indeed rather strange if not daunting, doubtless giving rise to some slight confusion regarding the the normal order of life's activities.

I believe the meterologists (Paultheweatherman et al) consider 1st September to be the first day of Autumn even though the equinox is around 3 weeks later.

I assume the latter figure is the elevation above a flat horizon but the former set look like a longitude which presumably would not be static unless orbiting North-South or vice versa
