Large bright orange orb travelled south parallel to coastline and then rose up into the night sky.
My wife and I observed a very large extremely bright orange glowing orb that tracked south some distance off the ocean shore paralleling the coastline. The surface of it looked like molten steel except for a very faint difficult to see grey shape in the center. There was a vertically moving wave like appearance to the surface. This molten appearance reminded me of a NASA photo of the surface of the Sun except that, unlike the Sun, the edge of it was very sharply defined. The bottom of it emitted a slightly more reddish tint.
It remained level at relatively low altitude above the horizon for about 30 seconds and then pulled up at sharp angle and rose at a tremendous rate of climb; it momentarily appeared to slow and then continued to climb rapidly. It was so bright that it illuminated very high thin cirriform, noctilucent, clouds in the dark otherwise clear sky as it passed through their altitude. It made no audible sound. This took place approximately an hour and a half after sunset.
