Bright glowing orb follows two young men as the walked down road in Sault ste Marie ontario

A friend and myself were walking east in Sault ste marie, on a dark starry night that was warm and cool, quiet and void of any cars. I felt kind of funny, a feeling of something watching me, as I looked up above my head we witnessed a small bright orb above us at about 30 or forty feet up. The feeling was of shock and disbelief, the orb continued to follow us, we began to run but not in horror, more like the feeling of surprise, excitement. As we began to run, the orb, bright white light surrounding it, no more than the size of a beachball, shot away in a south direction at a high rate of speed until it was seen no more. We were in our teens then, high school students, today successful businessmen and fathers.
