Brite red light in sky

I noticed a brite red light with a faint & smaller White light trailing the brite red object, that was headed twards our house. It was moving very slow,and was bigger than any airplane and glowing brite red & was below the cloud line, a plane passed behind it with out notice we think or who knows. we watched as it hovered over our house for about 3 min. it was heading east, it went over our house, and slowly moved twards the east. As it tavelled east it looked like the redness was fading, it blinked of and on and moved jerky like away from us and then, of in the distance got brite orange and either fell to the ground or took off like nothing ive ever seen before.
