Bright Plasma / Fire Orb flying smoothly without trail or sound above houses in suburban Canadian city of Surrey BC

On August 7, 2023, at 10:13 PM in Surrey, BC, (a suburb of Vancouver Canada) my 13 year old son spotted a bright orange orb in the sky directly in front of us, about a mile away from us. I stopped the car in the middle of the roadway, in awe, the driver behind us did the same without a sound, seemingly both vehicles transfixed by the sight above. We all watched the silent, fiery sphere; its plasma looking core didn't even leave a trail. I quickly grabbed my iPhone 13 to record this strange anomaly through my windshield. The orb then changed direction quickly and smoothly. We tried to follow it, my son took out his phone as I drove quickly after the fiery orb, filming as best he could along the roadway. But soon, it turned completely black and disappeared into the night sky only a few hundred feet above the homes of Surrey BC. The video we have doesn't fully capture the event in its entirety, as I was fumbling around trying to find my phone to record the situation… but it's a tangible piece of an extraordinary encounter we can't explain. It was not a balloon, a drone or a…. it was like nothing we have ever seen.
