The report, as filed
I first thought it was a very bright star then realized it was to low in the dark night sky to be a star. I got my binoculars and discovered it was a perfect sphere with individual lights that remained me of the Times Square countdown sphere. It stayed completely still and silent. I checked 90 minutes later and the object Was red and flashing had had moved eastward It seemed to be tree top level and was flashing red about every 5 seconds. It looked like it was stationary over I-75 between Rocky Face and Tunnel Hill exits. I checked again a few minutes later and it had disappeared.
