Location: Puerto Escodido (Mexico),
Shape: Sphere
Duration:3-4 min
Orange shpere over southern Mexico

The object was spheroidal in shape, orange in color, and had an orange corona that made it look furry. It was traveling slowly from north to south, approximately 1000 to 1500 ft in the air. And I would estimate that it was about 1 to 1.5 miles away. It stayed over the water of the southwest coast the whole time. From where I was sitting, it was about half a thumb's width in size. At one mile out, that's quite large. The whole incident took maybe 3 or 4 minutes. It stalled in the air, and then blinked out rapidly in what appeared to be a southwesterly direction. It didn't seem to go up, but rather straight over, even with the line of the horizon. There were no sounds.
