I was fishing on east lake Toho around 6:30 this afternoon and I saw what looked like a big hot air balloon coming from the south moving towards Orlando. There where no blinking lights just a flickering red yellow light with a white globe above it. This thing was moving faster than anything powered by the wind could have moved. From the same place on the lake I can see the fireworks from Disney world which is about 20 miles away.

This thing went out of sight in about a minute and a half, well past where the fireworks appear. It made no sound. I wouldn't have thought anything about it if it hadn't been moving so fast. t made the airplanes circling the Orlando airport look like they where standing still. So from miles away coming from the south it came over me and had gone well past Disney within a minute and a half. That would be approximately 30 to 40 miles. I can't explain it.
