Blood red firey UFO moving easterly past the moon vanishing with a red streak.

My Girlfriend and I witnessed what we thought was a Japanese Lantern but it seemed to move very quickly and moved vertically, up and down, while strafing left (east) past the moon. It was a blood red object, seemingly on fire, yet as it moved past the moon it grew dimmer. Then it vanished with a quick tracer back towards the upper skyline back towards the west.

It was a unique event to witness. It being the 4th of July now I suspected it to be a lantern but it's speed, movement, and swiftness led me to believe it was a UFO.

It wasn't a flare, plane, balloon, nor meteor. Therefore it's just classified as a UFO.
