I don't know if there is a manmade version of this. But in the ufo department, orbs are many things.
Sometimes they're the entity or being in person, and a large one would be on angelic higher level proportions. Golf ball size may be more expected.
But there are probes, or technology that assists in checkups and abductions and also monitors everything, ie the exact number of fish in the stream, 10 minutes ago, now and 10 minutes later. Detailed data taking.
If that was connected to a real ufo, and without knowing of a manmade version, I would guess it was, you guys were probably aboard a craft. When UFO's are involved, though often most people don't remember details, they have missing time, but there is always more to the story and its personal. There are no accidental sightings, except for the rare occasions of a ufo over a stadium, over the white house, where it may be trying to garner attention and wake some folk up. But even over a stadium, would suspect they all got missing time or time splices, and they all got checkups. They can give planet earth missing time or time splice if needed. And they do. Because everyone gets checkups, and usually from various sides and groups.
No missing time or weird experiences for us that night. It was about as eventful as seeing a deer on the side of the road. We definitely didn't get worked up about it because the whole "sighting" was very matter-of-fact like "oh look, a flying green ball... that's different." It happened 10 years ago.
I had an experience a month or so ago which seemed very much like an abduction but it was unlike any abduction story I've ever heard.

You saw an unidentified flying object or maybe unidentified aerial phenomena is a more close-fitting term? Your description reminds me more of anecdotal accounts of ball lightning than anything else. I wrote a thread about ball lightning and UFOs that wondered how many UFO reports were actually ball lightning.
I would love to see what you saw.
When people see an example of ball lightning, they can interpret it through their own natural filters of perception. That floating orb is a demon, a spirit, a nature faerie or an alien device depending on how our mind is set up. I won't push too hard on the BL explanation because it's still a rare phenomena and there are probably more annual reports of disc-shaped objects than BL. One is taken seriously and the other is pushed away...
Still, here's a video showing ball lightning footage with standard silly soundtrack. The clips are intriguing and have all been on UFO and ghost documentaries which kinda supports my point that we impose our beliefs on something we don't understand.

One thought that I've had about these orbs...
Maybe they're a form of viewing apparatus and there's something/someone on the other side of it that's using it to observe us/Earth/weather phenomena/etc.
Think camera and lens. The "orbs" are the lens and the receiver for the images is... somewhere else.
It would explain why they seem to be intelligently controlled and it would explain the stories where people have been "chased" by them or they've zipped right up to a person and stopped right in front of them. There are some video games that have "observer mode" and you zip around all over the place like an invisible camera watching the action. Some games even represent the "observer" as a type of orb. The movement and behavior of the real-life orbs is VERY similar to how I move around in these games... sometimes zipping quickly from place to place and sometimes floating slowly to observe what's going on.
Things that make you go hmmmm...

The hi-power phase [bluish-white light] can possibly generate speeds of up to 15,000 mph in our atmosphere and super luminal speeds in outer space, with the low-power [fiery red-orange or greenish-white] for take-offs/landings and military OP's.

This is interesting stuff. Where do you get this info from on the speed of the orbs relating to the colour emitted by them?

After seeing one myself, my ears always perk up on this topic. I remember a couple years ago hearing a Coast to Coast AM guest(who claimed to channel and communicate with what he believed to be non-human entities) use one word to answer the exact same question you ask in the OP (what's the purpose of these orbs?) and it has really stuck with me ever since: surveillance. That's what it felt like when I saw an orange orb on a Mexican beach in 2006 with my brother and step brother.
We were all just hanging out and my brother, sitting on the far right of us, yells, "Whoa! Look at that!" We all immediately noticed a bright, long lasting, shooting star streaking across the night sky. Suddenly it's bouncing 200 yards out from the shore, maybe 100 yards above the water, and its light has dimmed significantly. Then, suddenly(without seeing it travel), it is 30 feet above us and moves slowly from right to left before moving inland at a low level and out of sight. It felt like it was scanning us. The weirdest part of the whole thing was how this orange orb about the size of a large beachball seemed to appear immediately as a result of being recognized by my brother.
