Was in downtown charlotte on the 4th to watch fireworks saw a couple helicopters and you could clearly see and hear that they were helicopters then before any fireworks were shot off a bright orange light that appears close due to the size was moving at a slow pace not dropping or gaining altitude had no noise flying over us was completely silent thought at first it might have been some type of firework on fire floating but wasn't going with the wind and we sat watching it leave trying to prove what it could logically be and we couldn't come up with anything blimp, airplane, helicopter was easily ruled out......just one solid light and even with light of city couldn't see any other structure of it had no marker lights
