Glowing orange object in sky, saw it from directly below, was rounded in shapeRegina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The evening of Monday, August 9th, I was walking my dog along our regular route, which I have walked for many years. It was approx 10 PM. I was walking southbound along a small creek. It was a hot, humid night, clear dark sky, no moon that I could see. To my left, eastward, an object came into view over the treetops. For a second, I thought it was a full, orange, harvest moon. It was about the size of a large full moon in the sky and glowed orange. It took me a second to realize that the object was moving, travelling east to west. I then thought it had to be a meteor. However, this object did not streak or fall, nor did it have a trail. I stood there gaping at it as it passed directly overhead; when it was directly above me the orange glow became an orange "halo" around what i could see was an object with rounded edges. It appeared to be maybe 3500-4000 up; was completely silent, and travelled somewhat faster than an airplane, While directly above, the object appeared about "dime size" in the sky.I watched the glowing fireball object as it continued west, until it was just a dot in the sky, and then i couldn't see it anymore. The entire event was about 30-40 seconds in duration. I was completely mind-boggled; I literally could not believe my eyes. I did snap a couple pics with my phone camera after it had passed overhead, but the object appears much smaller and further away than it actually was. I'm not a photographer; didn't think to use the video camera feature, did not even think to zoom in.I called the local Airport Authority the following day and asked if this could have been a weather balloon, or if anyone else had reported seeing this weird glowing thing in the sky. I was advised they had no reports; also that it would not have been a weather ballon. I'm completely at a loss as to what it could have been. Googling since then, i have learned that these "fireball" sightings are common recently! I can attest that the one i saw was not a "ball" as when it passed directly overtop of me I could see that it was most definitely not lit up or glowing from the bottom.I still can't quite believe it! I have never seen anything like this! I did not upload the pics, but would be willing to share them if asked.
