Creamy white ball of light moving in southeastern to eastern sky

Creamy white ball which looked like the moon except it was about the size of large dime in the southeastern sky. The ball of light appeared, moved from southeast to east, before disappearing in the eastern sky. Duration was between 5 to 10 seconds. No sound. Clear skies with no wind.

Also saw several meteors that evening in the southern sky but this was different.

Time of sighting is approximate as we were stargazing and I was not wearing a watch.

I also wear glasses as I am nearsighted.
