sun shines of fuselage of very large high altitude object, small stationary light visible afterwards

I was sitting outside looking to the northern sky toward Milpitas. i saw the sun shine of off an object. at first i thought it was a high altitude plane with the sun shining off the fuselage. i usally see the sun flicker off the fuselage of passing commercial jetliners.

this is where it gets interesting. after i see the sun shine off of this object, the object proceeds at a stady pace to the east. it then stops in the low horizon to the east and i all see is a small red light. the light is hard to see so i grab my binocs. the light stays motionless for about 2 minutes in the air until it finally moves or dissapears. i would guess the object was 60-80,000 feet and very large. possibly a football field in length. but this is just a guess. no sound made.
