On Christmas day in the evening coming home from Gainesville, my wife and I pulled into our driveway, my pick-up facing due west. As I got out I turned toward the east and noticed in the sky above and behind my front neighbor's house, a bright blood red round light, I then said to my wife, Auri look how big and red Mars is, I then turned to open the house door, my wife who had just gotten out of the truck just stood looking at "Mars" and said to me, come here that's not MARS it's moving. We live seven miles northeast of Orlando's international airport(McCoy or MCO) and are on the landing approach path, takeoff pathways usually go west of our house then they bank east or north or west. Our house is also six miles south of Orlando's Executive airport home of the Blimps, so We are accustomed to all kinds of aircraft flying around at all hours, I went back to my front yard to see what my wife said was moving and now the red light which when I first saw it was about the size of a pea at arm's length, was now,maybe twenty seconds latter,the size of a golf ball at arm's length and a bright blood red and looked solid,we could hear noise from the airport there was no noise from object, to my right a plane taking off banked east and as it did the objet which was now above and to the south just went straight up and was gone,we both just stood there not believing what we just saw,we called our family to tell them
