Reddish/orange and white flashing object in sky at Ithaca NY

Was traveling southerly down HGY 13 toward Ithaca about a mile out of town. A craft at high altitude was approaching from the southwest, then it began to slow and finally stopped.

It then almost reversed direction and went straight south and disappeared near the moon. It looked to be little smaller than the size of a pea at arms length and was brighter than the moon. It appeared to have the color of something on fire: reddish orange and white.

It sporadically flashed the reddish - orange light and occasionally a white flash or two. It never repeated the pattern.
