I was in bed asleep, when a bright red light illuminated our bedroom. I woke up and laid still staring at the red orb the size of a soccer ball just outside of my bedroom sliding doors.

I have long dark curtains but I could see the round brightly glowing red orb through the curtains. It stayed still for a time, there appeared to be movement inside the orb, like it was glowing, almost like a fire.

I closed my eyes for a moment to be sure I was not seeing things. When I opened them, the orb had moved to the other side of my sliding door. It stayed there for a few minutes, then disappeared suddenly.

I was afraid to get out of bed or try to pull my curtains open. My husband was asleep and I did not want to disturb him as he sometimes does not sleep well.

I sleep with a fan on at night, so I am not sure if the red orb emitted any noise. It may have been drowned out by my box fan noise.

I had seen a UFO years ago in the daytime in GA while I was driving with my children in my van, so when I saw this red orb I felt it was not something man made.

I felt as though it was spying on us through the window, so I felt it was best if I laid still and did not move until it left.
