Drone video - Rocket Thrower and Unisphere

At 1:10 (and some other times) you can see at feature at the top that is obviously not a land form, and I thought might be an aircraft hazard beacon; but I cannot find a night photo of the Unisphere with a beacon at the top. Any idea of what it is? A temporary anchor point for a crane or ropes during construction/maintenance?

It's a aircraft hazard beacon. There is also another one at the top of the New York State Pavilion towers.

Thanks, Craig.

That's a very cool film.  The park looks a good deal better than when I last saw it.  There is only one thing wrong with this film (well, maybe two because I didn't like the music).  The Unisphere is missing something.  It needs a wonderful fair surronding it.

Never realized there was an aircraft warning light on the Unisphere, but it makes sense.  I know Disney very carefully kept the castle at Disney World to 199 ft tall so they would not need one.
