Brilliant orange cylinder with points of white. Appeared translucent and had a deliberate flight path

Hello. On Saturday May 15 at approximately 9:30 PM local time an object was observed moving West to East at several thousand feet. The object was brilliant orange with points of white and mostly cylinder in shape. It was traveling in a straight line and I didn’t hear any sound though the person I was visiting who I called outside to see it said she heard a motor. The object passed just to our north and then turned to a southeast heading. I contacted the Highbridge police department and no unusual sightings were reported. The local airport in Pittstown also stated there were no illuminated aircraft in the area Duration was only five minutes. The brilliant orange light remained as it disappeared below the distant tree line.
