Amber light floats over Naples UFO or ???

I'm a 23 year old security officer at work in Naples by Marco. I'm also a private pilot. The time was about 7PM. I walked outside of my gatehouse and was looking west toward the ocean. Its a very clear night with unlimited visibility. I can see stars and jets at 30k feet strobe lights flashing.

Out of the corner of my eye to the north I could see what I thought was a jet landing at fort myers intl airport or Naples even. The light was small and amber in color like a Boeing jet. It had a little kind of comet tail that was the same color as the light behind it that I could see as it moved closer and passed over my head going south. It moved from north to south like it was flying down the Florida coast but at 50-100k feet. It was moving a lot faster then the other jets and had no flashing lights of any kind. It took maybe 45 seconds to a minute for the light to disappear over the South horizon. It looked like a star floating across the sky. Perfectly round amber light. I thought it was a jet until it passed over my head going south and it was just as bright as it was coming at me. Like the headlights of a 737 coming at you but when its going away.? Jets don't use landing lights on at cruise altitude? The object appeared to be very high and was moving quicker then the other jets that I could see and pick out in the sky. I saw a amber ball of light travel from North to South at a high rate of speed that didn't look like anything I have ever seen before including the ISS.

I also witnessed the 3 red lights over Naples park on new years. It was a nice size triangle with 3 red lights that hovered and took off north. If looked like it had to be huge. I couldn't see a outline but it looked to be one object. There's a movie of it on you tube. This thing whatever it was flew around and took off to the North without makeing a noise.
