Orange Orb

On Aug 24, 2021 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, around 9 pm, I saw something that caught my attention. There was distant lightning, but no rain, and a mild sandstorm. Out of nowhere, I spotted an orange glowing orb flying silently in the distance. It seemed quite close at one point, maybe 50 to 100 feet away. I called my skeptical wife, and the object reappeared, though a bit further this time. I managed to get about 10 seconds of footage before it disappeared.

I've uploaded the video to YouTube, and you can check it out here: https://youtube.com/shorts/MqAX5eSdZQI

I thought your expertise in UFO research might shed some light on this sighting. I'd love to hear your thoughts and analysis when you have a chance.

It could be a drone or ball lightning but I'm not sure. I have seen drones at night in the past and I could tell right away that they were a drones, but this felt different. The video doesn't do it justice because I never saw light emit off an object like that… the only way to describe it is that it looked natural or organic in a way.

Anyway If you need more information or have any questions, feel free to reach out. Looking forward to your insights!
