Husband and I were outside around 9-9:30 pm looking up for satellites and shooting stars when we saw what we thought was a helicopter's searchlight approaching from the west. We noticed soon that it flew too slowly and completely silently, and the light glowed as a bright orb and did not cast a ray of light like a searchlight. It headed east toward Pike's Peak then grew very bright, turned scarlet red, then completely vanished.
