A glowing orange football shaped object that hovered then flew directly towards my window and low over my apartment.

In Santa Monica, California, on the afternoon of February 13, 2023 I noticed a very bright orange glowing football shaped object through my window hovering across the street against the background of a large tree with a lot of foliage. It was about 12 -15 feet below the tree top. It seemed to simply appear. I could not figure out what it was so I kept staring at it for a minute or two. Then it flew directly in a straight line toward my window and me. It was low and passed over my apartment. I wanted to go out and watch it but knew the view would be obscured. There were no lights on it and no means of propulsion. It was not a balloon. It only occurred to me that it might have been a UFO afterwards. I had no thought of taking a photo of it while it was happening. I did not expect it to move from where I first saw it. I called the non emergency police department phone line on Thursday, Feb. 16, curious if anyone else reported it, but no one did.
