Red light over Phoenix area. Blinking, solid, and then strobing.

We were walking around at a resort in the Phoenix area. It was night time. I was looking up in the sky as I was walking, and noticed a red light blinking in the same fashion as an airplane. A minute or so later, I realized that it wasn't really moving, so I stopped walking to see if maybe it was an illusion because I was walking or if was truly not moving. When I stopped, I noticed that it was moving at a very slow rate of speed, much too slow to be an airplane. I then thought that it was perhaps a blimp. It started moving in an a zig-zag fashion at that same slow rate of speed. I told my wife that that is rather odd... we kept watching it for a minute or so and the light then came on solid, and started to pick up speed in a straight line fashion. It hit what appeared to be airplane speed in a straight direction. Then, it proceeded to start blinking in a strobe fashion and appeared to plummet towards the Earth. We watched as it streaked down towards the horizon at a shooting star type of speed, all the while it was strobing in a very rapid fashion.
