Stayton, OR

I was driving on the Hwy in between the town's of Jefferson, Oregon, and Stayton, Oregon, and I just passed through the town of Marion, Oregon, and came to the only stop sign on that road when I looked up in the night sky towards the east when I saw a orange ball of light moving at a high rate of speed from the south to the north! It had no flashing FAA lights and after about 45 seconds to a minute it turn more red then orange and changed the direction from south to north to more the direction of N.NE AND before I knew it it disappeared the wind is blowing hard to night about 25 to 35 mph, to fast for any kind of drone to be flying!!!
