Circle over Carson city, NV

The report, as filed

While waiting to watch fireworks, my girlfriend pointed out what we thought was a planet. It was round and was noticibly a diffrent shade of black than the sky was it also had a very slight orange tint to it. We quickly pulled up sky map to see what planet it was. It did not appear on skymap. I proceded to watch this object and it began to move slightly northwest in a slow erratic motion that turned and stopped several times then I lost track of it. If the sun is a hour past setting in the west how can I not clearly see a object that is directly overhead, and I can clearly see, just like the moon. I believe this object was using the earth's shadow to hide while it navigated through the sky.
