Upside down bright orange burning crystal.

I saw it as a dot way out on the horizon. At first, I thought it was a shooting star. Then I started getting nervous as it was coming directly at me and I was getting ready to run. Not that that would have helped. About 5 seconds had passed and I thought it must be a helicopter on fire underneath. I immediately thought "If it is a burning helicopter I should try and record it. It was the one rare time my phone was within 15 feet of me, I knew where it was, and it was charged. I ran and grabbed my phone and was now on the side of my house with my phone recording, I triple-checked that it was recording right as the object was going over my house. It was about 100 feet up and 20 feet over from being directly over me and moving about 150 mph. I saw it clearly and closely. What I saw was amazing! It was a bright orange, and only orange, upside-down fire. But the fire was a burning crystal. It looked like quartz crystal to me. I posted that night on Nextdoor.com "Did anyone see an orange fireball float over last night?" I got six responses from people in my general area agreeing 100% with what I'm saying. One lady said she saw a giant translucent craft. I didn't see a craft, just the motor. Then 30 days later Joe Biden said they shot it down.
