White red ball above nas Jacksonville

I was on my back porch having a cigarette when I noticed two helicopters flying around nas. One high and one low with spot lights on. The helicopters looked like they were looking for something. I went back inside to take my dog out. When I went out the front door I noticed a bright white light that would flash red every now and then. The colors were very vibrant. The light appeared to be above nas. I thought it was a star until it started moving up and down. Left to right and even did circles above nas. The light started to drift west towards Cecil field before slowly drifting down below the tree line. Me and two family members observed the light for almost 5 mins. I’ve lived near nas my whole life and have never seen anything like this. My one family member works on f18s and I used to work on commercial aircraft. We both agree this wasn’t an airplane.
