Large Spherical light above Idyllwild

I go out every night before bed to stretch, breathe & look at the sky.
As I'm facing the north mountains, stretching, I see a large spherical red/orange shimmering light to my right. E-NE just to the left of the Idyllwild mountains. It appeared to be above the mountains & large, although there is no way of knowing the distance. It was steadily moving south & about to pass behind trees in the next lot. I ran to the front of my property, grabbed my phone & tried to record video. As it disappeared behind the trees, I ran to the back of my property waiting for it to reappear… It did not. I went inside & looked for the recording on my phone & it was not there. This could have been me screwing up in my excitement, but who knows.

I am very used to jets, satellites, rocket launches, meteors & this was nothing like that, or anything I had seen before.

I looked on social media for anyone else that may have seen it, but found no info.
