Saw amber orange rotating sphere

As was reported to my local Mufon chapter office. And it was mentioned by Nuforc but did not include video which I will submit to you. I was out walking as I usually do along the waterfront on December 9, 2020, at about 8:16 pm at the Sinclair Inlet when I looked up and saw an amber sphere which I thought at first was a drone. But as i listened, I could only hear background traffic noise. I tried to tell if it had structure, but it did not. It seemed to notice me noticing it. Still thinking it was a drone and someone was playing a prank, I turned around and started walking the other direction. It seemed to be following me. I turned around to look at it again and it “aflamed” and disappeared. After walking about 50 feet I looked to my left and it seemed to be following me as I walked up the hill. Again, I looked at it and it aflamed and disappeared. I turned around and walked back toward my truck, and again saw the sphere now on my right following along side. I got to my truck and drove off. I was surprised that I was the only one noticing it, no cars stopped to look at it, as you can hear traffic in the background. Very odd. I had the presence of mind to video record the sighting with my iPhone 8 Plus. At one point I zoom in. Has anyone else seen this type of sphere?
