Red arcing flashing strobe light, noticed at night near where the hilltop beacons typically sit.

From my rooms window at night after work, as I was getting ready to go to bed I noticed, what I had initially thought was the red beacon hilltop light on the hill from the tower. (These beacon lights are on the tops of the foothills near Reno). I realized however, that’s not what it was, and it began moving up, and down bobbing in the air (I estimated it to be about 1,000 feet off the flat ground, since it was bobbing just above the hilltop. This is typically where I recall seeing the red beacon light on a nightly basis after work. I sat still on my bed, and watched it, I noticed it had a slightly different glow to it, and then it started to strobe intermittently remaining bright red, but differently than the hilltop beacons, which I had not been able to notice for some strange reason at this time. It’s strobe got larger until it discharged, a huge amount of red light all the way to the valley floor, arcing it downwards, as well as upwards, it did this ! massive strobe twice only. It slowly, kept its bobbing motion up and down, it lightly diminished in brightness until it completely went out. I had the feeling that someone else must have seen this, as it was so bright. Not sure who was intended to see it, but it looked like performing some type of intermittent communication. This could NOT have been a “Drone”, it had lots of palpable energy behind that output of light.
