Sphere over Istanbul (Turkey) · Turkey

The report, as filed

I was walking next to the Obelisk (there are three with in meters of each other there and the Mosque is where you see all the sea gulls flying) and I noticed a red ball way up in the sky. I watched it for a minute. It was moving erratic so I pulled out my camera to try and catch it on video. It slowed down and then disappeared. It was completely silent. I heard a jet coming up behind me, and he passed right by where it disappeared, but sorry I stopped filming before that. (( Video, at the link provided below, indicates a single light, possibly orange, which appears to be hovering in a clear nighttime sky. We do not know what the object was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvmVEnFGocQ PD))
