Bright Red Light Hovering in the sky

Driving south on I-680 in the East Bay in the San Francisco bay area to work on Monday night 6/16/09. Saw a bright red light in the sky. It was as bright as a stop light and was not pulsating or blinking. Thought it was an aircraft or a helicopter , but it did not have any additional lights blinking as an air plane would have. The light appeared to be higher than an aircraft would be flying in the area. The light hovered in the sky and was not moving for several minutes. The light proceeded to move from west to east gaining altitude but remained bright. Still driving, watched as it moved away towards the east, but it stopped again and was not moving. Watched for 10 more minutes and realized it was moving again, this time in a southerly direction. It appeared to be moving further away in a southerly direction, suddenly I realized it moved back towards the west and back closer to where it was before. It continued to move south and then started gradually moving towards the east again until it was out of sight. Overall, I observed the object for 20 to 25 minutes.
