Two separate locations at the same time, three family members see strange, orangish-yellow balls of light

My husband was traveling for business to a larger city about 3 hours from our rural town. It was a beautiful starry evening for traveling especially for February. It was almost 8:00PM when I got an excited call from my usually calm mannered husband. He was amazed to be seeing the Starlink satellite in the sky. Suddenly, however, an orange, round fireball object shot from west to east across the sky. He was beyond frantic, even as a veteran of the US Air Force with training in defense and in remaining calm under extreme circumstances. As we were talking another one hurdled across the sky. He managed to catch the tail end of it on his cell phone camera. He thinks other motorists were equally alarmed as traffic slowed when it happened, yet it was so quick, he said, one could have missed it if not engaged. He honestly thought some sort of attack was underway and was concerned with being 3 hours from home. My daughter and I had just arrived home to our rural property. He asked us if we could see anything unusual. The sky was a velvet black blanket shimmering with stars: it was beautiful! We didn’t see anything, at first. Then suddenly from the northeast a round, orange ball of light came corkscrewing across the sky! It did not fly in a straight line, it corkscrewed! Remember, my husband is 3 hours from my location, and now we’re seeing the same orange balls in the sky! My daughter and I actually jumped up, I with an expletive, in fear! There was no noise to the orange ball, and it didn’t reflect on the ground. It was gone almost as quickly as it came into view, and we were awestruck and horrified. I was still on the phone with my husband who was mortified not to be home. We watched for a bit longer, but nothing occurred and the February chill got the best of us. My daughter and I went into our house, and no other experiences were seen by any of us. Interestingly, and perhaps related, our cat and dog were very active that day. You WILL see the Starlink satellite in the first picture with the orange ball in the lower left corner of the picture but, as I said the orange ball was traveling so fast my husband just snapped the picture, hoping to catch it. The second picture is just a blown up view of the orange ball from the first picture.
