Disappeared/blasted towards west and appeared all of a sudden around a minute after behind us rather closer Felt as if it was on purpos

On the date of November 6, 2021 approximately between 1745-1805hrs I was standing with a friend of mine (N) towards the east end of Condado Beach in San Juan, PR (approximately 18°27'24.8"N 66°04'10.2"W). She asked me what was that thing in the sky, if it was an airplane. It was a rather large, bright/glowing red/yellow/orange (kind of like a golden glow), cylindrical shaped object. It didn't have any flashing lights on it and it seemed to be moving at a relatively slow speed, slower than an airplane. Suddenly it stops mid-air and when focusing on it as hard as I could it looked as though it has hovering in all directions in the same place, as if it were vibrating. It begins to move farther away as if going exactly in the direction we were looking at. It was just getting smaller and smaller as if it wasn't moving on an X or Y axis. When I try to start recording (I say try because it was hard to concentrate on anything except at whatever I was looking at) as ! soon as I point my iPhone’s camera at it, it suddenly moves to the left at a speed that I have never seen anything move like in my life or movies alike and disappears. I’m still in shock of what I had just seen with my friend, so while we were walking back down the beach going west I didn’t take my eyes off the sky looking around at every area of the sky I could see around me to see if I could still see it. Suddenly my friend N says look up behind you and I see the same colored glowing object I had seen just moments earlier (approximately 18°27'25.5"N 66°04'15.9"W), although this time it seemed much closer to us where you could even see some details about its shape and depth (about half the distance compared to the first sighting. This thing was huge). It was moving approximately towards the same location we saw it moving towards the first time (East-Northeast) at a very slow speed. I started recording. We then see a plane (distinguishable plane outline, dark gray with blin! king red white and green lights) coming from the direction of ! the SJU airport and we were certain that the object was 100% different than the airplane or any drone I have ever seen. Once the plane gets closer the object starts moving at a faster speed, still noticeable to the human eye (note: slow movements/speed of object appeared slower than the movement of the airplane) getting farther away and smaller every second that goes by. I lose sight of it maybe three times before I finally lose sight of it completely never seeing it again as though it simply vanished. I was pretty amazed at what I had seen and it is still hard to wrap my head around the unexplainable phenomena I saw happen. I will attach an illustration of what saw and try to represent it’s relative size and distance from where I was standing. I’ve seen the Empire State Building standing from Hoboken, NJ and this object seemed like it was farther and higher than the top of the building whit the size of the object still being rather noticeable. At it’s farthest visible point it appe! ared to be like a bright star in the sky around the size of the eye of a needle being held with your arm fully extended. Maybe smaller than anything I've ever seen with my eye at a far distance yet it was still noticeable due to its glow/brightness. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I have a pretty good memory and I don't think I’ll ever be able to forget this either.
