NARRATIVE

I was driving east on Rte 81 west of the village of Coxsackie when a round object appeared in the sky above me. I stopped my car to see what it was. 
It was round in shape and had a orange red glow around it. The obect made no sounds at all and sat motionless in the sky. It hovered for about 1 min and then shot off up, and to the south east. 
The object was behind some cloud cover so no markings were visable from my point. 
I would estimate the the object was around 5 to 10 thousand feet above the ground when I saw it.
Date of sighting may be approximate, although the witness does not indicate that fact.  PD
