Red fiery object witnessed by 3 adults.

My dad, brother, and I were outside in his driveway sitting by a fire when we saw a fiery object coming from the west. At first we thought it was an airplane on fire because he lives close to an airport. Then we thought it was debris from space but we didnt see any debris. It was silent as it flew over. The object came out of the clouds, flew directly over our heads and went back into the clouds. My brother tried to take a picture with his phone but it didn't come out. It flew at exactly 79 degrees east because we looked at the compass on his phone headed towards Canada. We haven't called the airport yet to see if they saw something on radar. It is something we can't explain.
