Red Blinking light that travelled at a good speed and made no Sound

It was 14th Jan 2005 at 11PM when I had finished my dinner and came out to look at Saturn (that was brightest during that time), I saw this red blinking light that was travelling at a good speed from East to West. I couldnot see anything else even against the dark background except for this red blinking light. It made absolutely no sound.

I called my wife and 6yr old daughter who both saw this for about 1 minute when it went out of sight.

We have been living in this place for nearly 25yrs and know each aeroplane that fly over our house by heart. Moreover this made no sound eventhough it was flying at a good speed (definitely more than any average plane). It covered the entire area from East to West in just around a minute and made no sound even at that speed.

Just for the records I am an electronics engineer and am working as a Project Manager in an IT MNC. I am also an amature astronomer and an currently building my own 6" Newtonian reflector telescope.
