White cube that glowed like a lightbulb

I'm the oldest by 1 year, my 2 brothers remember it but not very well. We really stopped talking about it much along time ago. It was a white glowing cube shaped box with a red light inside of it in the center. It had when it got close to us 1/4 mile and hovered it had a glossy shine to it. I did some checking may or may not mean anything? But back then at least ours was, T.V. was black and white. T.V. was really,for the most part not around very long. The TV 2 tower near us then first broadcast was on Nov.28,1954. So my thinking that it either picked up the signal with in 10 to 11 light year area from earth. If it came from a nearby star system. Or if it was a probe or ship of some kind that was just passing by and picked up the signal and followed it back to there, then who knows where it came from?
Witness does not indicate the fact, but the date of the sighting may be approximate.  PD
