Orange glowing fireball in the sky in Leesburg, FL

Me and my mother witnessed this craft for a very brief period of time. It appeared to be a fireball in the sky, as we were driving North on hwy 44, going towards Eustis, I glimpsed over to the East of the Van, and witnessed this bright orange glow, it was way too big to be any typical aircraft, or an explosion. There was no sound, and I'm very sure that this was not a weather balloon, or anything of the sorts. I immediatly got my mothers attention, and she saw the same thing that I was seeing, so I'm very sure we weren't hallucinating.
