Yellowish-orange lighted object in sky travels without sound

This is the 2nd time we have seen this. The first time was last yr in August. That time it looked to be spherical in shape like a large yellow light. It had no sound as it traveled over the house. It was coming from the north west traveling south-southeast.

Tonight as I went out to bring my lawn chair up to the porch, I saw a bright yellowish light coming from the east. It did not look to be very high up and glowed considerably. There was no sound to it at all. It looked to be thinner and higher than the previous sighting but still seemed to be the same thing because this time it seemed I was seeing it from the side. I called my son out to look and he saw it as it traveled north-northwest.

What is creepy about this is there is no sound at all. If it were an ultralight there should be sound- it was too large to be a glider and too brightly lit. It was not a balloon-hot air or otherwise I don't believe.

Any ideas what it might have been?

My son saw it before these 2 times and he said it had traveled from west going north east and then turned diraction to go north. There are no flashing lights on it.
