A commenter on the water said it was 2 parachutists landing on the USS Midway, each with 2 flares. Skydiving Innovations, the demo team that jumps onto the Midway, confirmed by email to me directly that it was their night exhibition jump for an event, at 7:30 PM.
The jump plane is on ADS-B. A Cessna 206 (N9150M) left Brown Field about 7:16 PM, passed right over the Midway at about 3,900 ft at 7:26 and again at 7:30, then landed back at Brown by 7:42. That pins the date to Tue Nov 10.
So the "hovering orb" was the flares on jumpers coming down under canopy over the bay.
