Rapid darting object over Cape Canaveral

I was talking with a friend on the phone, when I noticed red lights (a set of two) floating in the air north of us. It appeared to be distance from us, around Cape Canaveral distance. The lights hovered, then quickly darted towards the east. The object stopped abruptly, then moved back towards the West with small scallop like motion a couple of times. It then stopped again, and slowly lowered downward. At my line of sight, it dropped below tree line briefly, then seconds later shot up high into the sky again, abruptly stopping, then moving westward at a rapid speed, to then stop again make a small loop, and then move eastward again at a rapid speed. The movements were too fast and the stops to abrupt compared to a helicopter. The blink of either green or blue lights were apparent at a couple of the the maneuvers. The object dipped below the tree line again. It came above the tree line once agin and darted at a skyward diagonal heading eastward, stopped, hovered, then headed west again at a rapid speed. Eventually the object lowered straight down below tree line and out of sight. During the encounter there was no sound, such as with helicopters or airplanes.
