Saw round orange light with no blinking lights and no sound. Flying south to north over northern Manhattan.

I was walking southbound on the east side of the boulevard. I saw a round orange light going on a northerly direction. It was not very high. There were no flashing lights, green on the right wing and red on the left, so I knew that it was not an airplane. It had no other flashing lights so I also knew that it was not a helicopter. It made no sound whatsoever. It was also moving faster than an airplane or helicopter. Since it looked unusual to me I took out my phone to take a video. I did this even before I realized that it was not making any sounds. The route is used by airplanes going to land at LaGuardia Airport but you always hear the airplanes and see the flashing lights. There some low hanging clouds and I also noticed that there was not the straight beam of light you see at night when airplanes have their lights on. The next day I was walking northbound and an airplane went by. I couldn’t see it because it was goofy and musty but the noise was very loud and unmistakable. This was no airplane or helicopter. I have tried to attach the video but is not happening.
