Fireball over Lake Michigan, silent, changing direction before disappearing into clouds
At approximately 9:30 PM on September 17, 2022 I saw a steady orange spherical light moving through the sky, slightly redder in color than an ordinary flame. It was over Lake Michigan near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It made no sound, and moved over the lake near the Milwaukee Harbor before proceeding over the water to the east, and then north. I saw a reflection in the water of the lake. It bobbed slightly as it moved, and appeared to move quickly. It disappeared up into the clouds after moving over the lake, maybe 1/2 to 1 mile from shore. I am very confident that it was not an airplane--planes had been passing by from north to south to land at the Milwaukee airport all night. The object also moved faster and more suddenly than the steady ascent/descent of the planes I saw that night.
