Large helicopter chasing an amber glowing orb

I was walking my dog in the Woodcreek North neighborhood with my wife around 8pm. We heard a LOUD helicopter flying overhead which is common in the area, but this one was much larger than any I have seen and a lot louder. It was too dark to make out if it was military or not, but my hunch is that it was. Way out in front of the helicopter was a glowing orb (amber in color) just flying, not blinking. The helicopter was in steady pursuit but not gaining on it. We watched for a good two minutes until both were out of sight. The objects were probably about 1,000 feet in elevation.
