Default Any ideas?

About 20 minutes ago in cape town south africa, I just saw a bright star (definitely not a satellite) move at a fair pace. Slower than a satellite or meteorite. It seemed to have very slight changes or slow downs in velocity. It travelled about half of the visible sky and then fade to orange and then black. I thought it was perhaps one of those chinese lanterns, but it was moving into a strong south east wind. Any ideas?
