At around 9:30 PM July tenth 2011 in Canisteo N.Y., I observed a yellow red bright light for about one to two minutes.
At around 9:30 PM July tenth 2011 in Canisteo N.Y., I observed a yellow red bright light for about one to two minutes before the light faded. At the time I was on the corner of Russell St, and W Academy St, (near the high school).
While on that corner I looked north west toward the city of Hornell. That’s when I observed one silently moving yellow red light just above the tree line for about one minute before ascending slowly then fading slowly as well.
I observed, aside from its color, and movement, that it is about ¼ of an inch in diameter from my perception; far larger than any satellite I have seen.
Also that it seemed to lack the look of any airplane or helicopter as it lacked the standard blinking aeronautical lights of such aircraft.
The nighttime weather at the time was pleasant, in the low seventies with little haze, or fog. I have seen bright orange lights just after sunset from aircraft, probably from the sun reflecting of the fuselage.
The object however was seen long after sunset as the sky was dark blue to the west, and the object was west not east of my position, ruling out any solar reflection.
It may have been some kind of spotlight from a plane or helicopter, but as mentioned I saw nothing in the way of aeronautical lighting.
