Live in Lakes of Mount Dora community, off state highway 44, Mount Dora, Lake Co. FL. Just dropped wife off at Lakes of Mount Dora office, where she works. Entered community through gate, and was proceeding south towards home on Bridgeport Bay Circle. About 2 blocks from home, I observed at some distance an easily visible reflection off a silver metallic surface. At first I dismissed it as an airplane - I'd estimate it to be about 500 ft. in altitude and about 1/4 mile away, off to the south. When I was about one block from home I saw it again, only much more close and clearly this time. The object was nearly directly above me, only some distance from a 90 degree vertical from my location. Again the most distinct characteristic was the silver metallic reflection of sun light off the surface. The reflective surface looked rectangular. Another portion of the object was dark in color and was either black or was not in a position for the sun light to reflect off it's surface. I was sure now it was not an airplane, but it was similar in size to a small airplane but it made no noise. Stopped car and got out to observe object better. Thought it might have been a large kite, that was quite high; perhaps it had gotten away from the flyer or perhaps the flyer was nearby. I looked for a "dangling line" from the object but saw none. I glanced around to a nearby open field but did not observe anyone in the field. Looked back at the object - it was moving away from me in an easterly direction at an estimated 50 ft per second and appeared to be gaining altitude. I got back into car, turned around in my driveway, and drove about 1/2 mile on road that was in the direction the object was moving (east). Parked car, got out and still could see the object in the sky off in the distance above the tree line. I got out my Kindle notebook but by the time I got the guard off the notebook to take a photo the object was barely visible. I managed to take four photos but by then the object was quite far away, however I could still make out the faint silver metallic reflection. When I last saw the object it appeared much higher and was moving in an easterly direction. In an attempt to catch up to it and obtain a closer photo I drove from the community and turned east onto state highway 44. I drove east for about 2 miles, pulled off onto a side road, parked the car, got out and looked in the sky for about 5 minutes in all directions but could not see the object. Returned to my home. I was a bit anxious from the unknown I just witnessed, but knew I should report the sighting.
