Large white bright object seen in Leesburg, Florida

Dear readers and interested parties,  this is my first post in 2018.  I returned to my home in Leesburg, Florida in May of 2017,  after my beloved mother passed away,  thinking I would miss the exciting activities in the forest.  Leesburg is approximately 18 miles from the Ocala National Forest,  I planned to take friends on UFO skywatches there.  Still it didnt seem the same, until the early morning of May 19, 2018, around 3:15 AM.  I awoke to find the front door to my small house wide open,  with the dead bolt in a locked position as I had locked it that evening,  with no sign of forced entry. "Yea,  I laughed,  they followed me".  I walked across the front lawn to my son's larger house to type some reports in my work room. Around 5:00 AM as I was walking back to my house something caught my eye.  I whirled around to face a large round white bright object with an rust red orange krinkled perimeter hanging silently in the clear eastern sky about 20 to 25 degrees up from the horizon.  A commercial passenger jet flew just under it heading for the Orlando International Airport, which is approximately a two hour drive south of Leesburg. I observed the strange majestic object with my binoculars for 25 minutes,  wondering about all the things it could be.  None fit the description,  I had not seen anything like this in the forest.  If an reader viewing this report has seen something similiar please comment in the box below.  Thank you all who come to my blog,  I hope my experiences have inspired your search for the truth.
