Oval shape craft sighted through the cockpit

My FO and I were flying southeast through the Gulf of Mexico near the coast line through VER at FL350 on a clear night when we both spotted an oval shaped silver chromed craft passing us very close on an opposite direction slightly above us and emitting some sort of orange light. From our perspective we noticed it had a very high speed, didn’t seem to have wings or any typical aircraft lighting like strobe lights or beacon, also our TCAS didn’t detect anything.
