Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 3

Location: Mount Dora, FL, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

i saw what i thought was a orange glowing haze or mist , so i ran and grabbed my binoculars, the object seemed to be close as i saw red, green, and blue flashing lights on it, it seemed tall in size, as i looked through my binoculars, i could see a distinct kinda half circle shape as viewed from the side, as this orange glow or fog encompassed the object i saw, it was moving, very slow across my line of sight, the distince saucer shape i could only distinguish as a dark line, the flashing lights were on both top and bottom, it viewed with the naked eye was only an orange glow with flashing lights, by the time i went and got my family (who also saw it) it was below the tree line. (i live on a lake) i know an airplanes light patterns, as well as helicopters, and even blimps, this was just an orange glow.

my family thought it was a plane or something on fire, but it mooved just to slow for that.
