Bright red light sphere moving silently and very low in the sky

Went out for a walk with the dog, at 9:50pm EST and after 5 minutes of walking down the road, both, my mom and I, saw a glowing bright red light sphere, moving horizontally above us, across the sky.  
The object moved  with a steady speed, light was mostly red, glowing with yellow and orange tones, was moving at a significantly lower altitude than an airplane or even a helicopter, and it was making absolutely no noise.  
It took it a minute or so to pass us, after which it blinked and disappeared.
