On the 4th of July, I was standing on a dock on Lake Palestine, Smith County, Texas. I was in mid-conversation, facing North, when I saw what I thought was a strange plane of some sort. I pointed it out to the other person who agreed that it was odd... we guessed maybe even a drone. The flight path was steady, moving in a straight line across the lake, over power lines. From my perspective it travelled from the NE to the NW. It was an orange, steady, bright, glowing, circular craft. It was travelling at the speed a conventional small aircraft would. If it weren't for the light source and shape, I would think it to be a private plane.
