2 vertical lights changing color and moving erratically in the night sky

I am an environmental toxicologist and former college professor. I usually don't belive this kind of stuff but this is something I definately have never seen before.

My dog was barking uncontrollably so I went out on my deck to see if a bear or coyotes were in my yard. While out on my deck I saw 2 lights directly on top of each other hovering in the western sky. The two lights moved simultaneously so I'm assuming they were on 1 object. The lights were white then subtly changed to a blue hue and back to white. The lights hovered, then moved right very fast and stopped then moved left and up very fast and stopped. Each time the object stopped it hovered for a few minutes before moving again.

At that point, I saw a red light flying very fast toward the object. I thought the red light was an airplane but it moved significantly faster than your average passenger jet in the sky. The red light flew directly at the object until the red light was hidden behind the object and I never saw it again.

The object kept moving fast and hovering and then in an instant it flew directly downward below the tree line and I couldn't see it. My husband, who is a die hard skeptic of all things supernatural, saw it and admitted that it was unlike anything he had ever seen. He couldn't believe what he was seeing so he finally said. "It must be the space shuttle".
