Perfect disc, orange in colour - almost the same as the street lights, very large indeed so possibly very close to me

Was stationary for approx six minutes that I watched it, then seemed to close like the shutter of a camera and as it did so turned brilliant white and was gone.

I peered at it from the corner of my house trying not to be in it's line of sight because it was obviously like nothing I had seen before so I was worried by it. After a few munites I plucked up courage and simply stepped out from the corner of my house directly in view of the object, and that is when it dissapeared as described. I told a lot of people about it but was ridiculed.
