No of observers: 2

Location: Folsom, PA, USA

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Lights on object

Large orange sphere-shaped object slowly moved across the sky from the NW to NE in Pennsylvania

We were sitting in our yard as we frequently do on weekends. We like to watch for satellites, the ISS, etc., and have seen these plenty of times and are very familiar with them.

At 22:17 (10:17 PM ET) we saw this orange light appear from the NW sky and it moved slowly across the sky to the NE and then disappeared as it reached a certain point in the distance, much like a satellite does. However, unlike a satellite or the ISS, this object was much larger, approx. the size of a dime held at arm's length and it was orange like fire, but was not a fireball. It was bigger than any airplane lights and there were no flashing lights. It was just a solid orange light and it was silent. It took around two minutes to move across the sky.
