Bright white spherical object moved rapidly from east to west crossing river to the south of our home

Spherical glowing white object was seen moving quickly from east to west crossing Damariscotta River roughly 3 miles south of the town of Damariscotta, Maine. Speed (very rapid and parallel to horizon) and light (solid bright white) rule out any known aircraft, and the size and direction seem to rule out a meteor. Altitude is difficult to determine since we are unsure of its distance from us. Object was viewed through east and south facing windows by two of three people in the room. Observers were a 31-year-old male and a 72-year-old male.
