ORANGE GLOWING OBJECT, HOVERING FIRST, THEN RAPIDLY ACCELERATING IN ONTARIO, NY

My wife and I were driving Eastbound on Rt.104 in the town of Ontario, New York, when we observed a bright Orange Oval Object moving towards us low to the horizon. I originally thought that it might be street light.

When we got closer, it almost appreared to be a hot air balloon with orange flame type lighting the bottom. We made a u-turn, and pulled off the road into a parking lot where we then observed the object as it hovered for about two minutes.

The light was orange with no other colored lights observed. I estimate the altitude to be about 3-4 thousand feet. It was silent as it hovered.

After about 2-mins, it took off at a hight rate of speed to the east. As it was moving away, it began to flicker, and then blinked out.

We did video the object on a Camera Phone, but all that we could pick up was a faint light. You clearly see it move off rapidly i the video, but we could not zoom nearly close enough for a good look.

NOTE: I am a pilot, and am very familiar with many types of aircraft. I am also an Air Force Veteran. This is like nothing I've ever observed in my years as a pilot.
