Sphere over Port Chester, NY

The report, as filed

Walking dog at night with wife. Wife saw object in sky which was very high glowing from orange to redish, moving from east to west very slowly. I thought it was a plane at first, then when we stopped walking to see if it was moving it was slowing down and came to a complete stop in the north western section of the sky. The size of it was like a typical star but slightly brighter than a planet and in a orange redish color then suddenly it had a slight burst of red and slowly started to fade. I have seen small aircraft and even high altitude planes that could fool someone for a min as a UFO but this WAS NOT a plane. I have never witness this before. It was definitive strange. I rushed to my computer which was only like 3 mins away to see where the International space station was and it was well past NY and in the lower Pacific Ocean region even though it did have a flight path in the area. Something was trailing it or something else is going on.
