Other over Ashville, NY

The report, as filed

I had to let the dogs outside about 4am. In my mud room on my house, I have a back door for the dog pen and a front one to go outside to the driveway. I had let the dogs outside using the back door and noticed all the stars in the sky that morning. I wanted to look at more stars and decided to go to the front door and look at the stars on that side. Upon opening the door I noticed a round orange glowing light just over my neighbor's house and the trees right behind them. I have looked in the night sky in the same direction many times, so I know for a fact there is nothing in that direction to cause the light. It hovered for about half hour and in a blink of an eye it was gone. I know what I seen and it can not be explained.
