Spherical object which ejected a total of 10 smaller spheres, which disintegrated

On the evening of November 19, 2021, around 5 pm, I was on my way home from work, when I noticed a very bright spherical object in the sky to the southwest. The sky was overcast, and the sun was setting, so it was pretty dark out. At first, I thought I was looking at Venus, but then I remembered the cloud cover. I slowed down to get a better look at the object. The object had moved from east to west for a short period of time, and then remained stationary. It seemed to be about a half of a mile away, and about 1500 ft in elevation. It was a golden white sphere, a little smaller than a pea at that distance. As I was watching, it ejected 5 smaller spheres, which remained for a couple seconds, and then disintegrated into a glittery looking substance that disappeared. Shortly after, the sphere ejected 5 more smaller spheres, which also disintegrated. The sphere remained for about 20 to 30 seconds following that, and then it disappeared, but it didn’t disintegrate. I would say that the total time I observed the object was about 10 minutes from when I first spotted it. I was on Old Belgrade Rd, about 3 miles from Mt. Vernon, ME, and I was traveling west.
