Military aircraft escorting glowing orb south of Kennewick Washington.

My wife and I observed a military aircraft escorting a glowing orb south of Kennewick, ,Washington on a date and time given. The military aircraft was following behind the object and continued the escort until it was out of sight. It approached us from the south from the direction of the Boardman bombing Range in Oregon and headed in a north easterly direction. The aircraft had clearly visible aircraft navigation lighting. The glowing orb that it was escorting had no such lighting. I am fairly certain it was a military aircraft because I could not find it on my phone app that tracks commercial aircraft. Typically, military aircraft do not show up. However, commercial aviation and general aviation aircraft do show up on that app.
