Bright orange ball appeared and shot off like a comet suddenly silently and close to me in the sky.
Sitting on my porch, looking at the night sky, facing south. I was startled by what looked like a bright orange ball surrounded in a distortion appear and immediately fly west at an extremely fast speed out of sight. It appeared to be a few hundred feet up and a few hundred feet out from me. The entire event was silent. When the object first appeared it seemed like a sudden explosion into existence before flying off. It was almost like a bright, up close, silent comet.
