There was a bright red ball that had started racing really fast towards our general direction

This bright red spherical object was pretty large and we were standing by the edge of the tribal government property watching fireworks going off out towards New London and Groton and then all of a sudden we had seen this bright red large ball shape off in the distance just racing towards us and it was moving really fast towards us. Where we were standing and facing looking out towards the Thames River heading towards New London and Groton and its general direction that it was following was the Thames River and it was literally going super fast and then it slowed right down as if it knew that we were standing there watching. It then hovered and cut to the right towards Ledyard and Norwich direction and slowly kept going and then all of a sudden the red color just disappeared and it was nowhere to be seen. There was absolutely no sound coming from this object at all and with how quickly it closed the gap between us and it was as if it were almost going supersonic. There were no blinking or flashing lights on this thing it was just a bright steady glowing red and it was almost as if it were a fireball just racing across our sky towards us. It wasn't an asteroid or a shooting star or a plane or a drone. With how this thing was moving it moved to quickly to be anything man made let alone a toy drone. It was literally right above the Groton Sub base. And when it turned by us it turned to the right and up at an angle and then it's red color just went black and we couldn't see anything anymore and it was gone. The moment it was gone our dog that was down the hill at our house had stopped barking. The entire time that it had been coming towards us our dog was barking up until it disappeared and our dog just stopped barking.
