Initial data
Glowing orange sphere in Chicago.
Sorry, the old message was deleted because I didn't include this information. Location: Chicago, Illinois. Time: 9:28 CST. Date: 11/2/22.
I live in Chicago, near O'Hare Airport. My friend and I went outside for the first time in a long time just to relax and talk. It happened at 9:28 pm Central Standard time. We are facing each other and my girlfriend is telling me a story. It's dark outside.
Out of nowhere, my friend's face turns bright orange and she is stunned. I turned around and saw this giant fireball (at least that's what it looked like to me). I couldn't figure out what I was looking at at all, and we sat and looked puzzled as this house-wide object was literally right above us, just moving vertically upwards.
I was so stunned that I didn't even think to pull out my phone to start recording. As soon as we realized it wasn't a flash or something obvious, I immediately started recording (a minute after we first saw it). I know I said it looked like a fireball, but that's not true. It was like I was looking at the sun and the air around it looked distorted.

Glowing Orange Orb Siting Chicago 11/2/22
Sorry, old post got removed because I didn’t include these details Location: Chicago,IL Time: 9:28CST Date:11/2/22
Context: I live in Chicago, not too far from O’Hare airport. My girlfriend and I went outside for the first time in a while to just chill out and talk. The time is 9:28pm CST when this occurred. We are facing each other and my girlfriend is telling me a story. It is dark outside. Out of nowhere my girlfriends face turns into a bright orange and she is stunned. I turned around and saw this giant ball of fire(or at least that is what it looked like to me). I couldn’t make out at all what I was looking at and we sat there staring puzzled as this object as wide as a house was literally right above us just moving straight up vertically. I was so stunned that I didn’t even think to pull out my phone to start recording. Once we realized that this wasn’t a flare or anything obvious I immediately started recording(a minute after we originally saw it). I know I said it looked like a ball of fire but that doesn’t do it justice. It looked like I was looking into the sun and the air around it looked distorted.
