Object was bright white to bluish white. The night was completely clear but the object looked like it had a fog or cloud around it.

Was taking trash out and noticed a bright light in the sky. Looked up and thought it was a helicopter. Did not notice movement at first. Was in the north northeast part of the sky. Slowly moved in a generally west or southwest direction. Went in the house to get people to come and see it, they witnessed it as well but it had moved much further away and wasn’t as visible. The object was generally spherical but you could not focus on details of the object. It looked like a cloud or fog surrounded the object. It was self illuminated but, it didn’t seem to be reflecting light. The color was a bright white almost bluish with a slight purplish or red hue, but faint. Tried to drive to get a better view but never saw it again. The sky was completely clear, no high level clouds and no fog in the area that evening. There was no noise associated with the object. Could not tell if the object was very large and far away or smaller and closer. Was not starlink or space station, moved in the opposite direction of satellites/ISS. Was not a Chinese lantern. SpaceX launched that night but we are too far north to have seen anything associated with the launch.
