UFO near JFK Airport NY on a bright sunny day

My father called me onto the front porch and pointed out something in the air in the vicinity of JFK Airport. It was a ball on top with a poll going down attached to another ball at the bottom. I said “Balloon”. My father said it was too big. I thought it was odd how it was flying - Not moving – If they were balloons on a string there would be some movement but it was moving like it was all one piece. Also it was only straight up and down with one ball on the top and the other on the bottom. I ran and got binoculars. It was hard to hold the binoculars steady enough but I saw faint pink, yellow and then white lights on the balls. The poll between the balls was to thick to be a string. I put the binoculars down to look at it with my eyes and it flashed (Like a camera flash) and it was gone. It was a bright sunny day with blue skies and some puffy clouds. My father did not see the flash because he was not looking at the time. He estimated the size as! about half that of an airplane.
