Orange glowing fireball or object ;noiseless.

I was outside looking at fireworks on new Years Eve and I saw a bright deep orange round shape possible burning like a rocket engine would but on the whole craft.

It moved in a straight line from west to east: from the St Johns river area to possibly the Ocean . It was completely silent and looked about 15000 to 80000 feet high.

I saw it for about 90 seconds. There was no tail. No exhaust plumes.

Appeared traveling about the spped of a small plane.
