Red Star like light moving NW to SE

It was 09-11-2010 at about (08:20pm CST) and I was having a smoke with my girlfriend and as we outside I like always stargaze and observe the skies. I fixed my eyes on a red star, wasn't a plane because I see them often at night and they flash and usualy eazy to identify, anyhow I was gazing at this red star and kept observing the rest of the stars in the sky.

It looked just like the rest it was stainionary but it was red, so as I admire the red star, I turned to my GF and said to her, "wow look at that red star", she turned and said "thats no star its moving" moving? I though, holly @5*! it is, so I dashed and grab my video camera and got about 2 minutes of video following the object from its path NW to SE until I lost it over some trees and horizon.

On 09-13-2010 I was taking out the trash at about (7:41pm CST)and looked toward the sky where I seen sighting 1 and to behold it was up there again. I snapped a picture of it without really trying to since my intent was recording it, which I did managed.

This again was like a few minutes sighting no more that 3 minutes. I lost view of it somewhere SE.

The object/objects if it was the same one or not, didn't make any noise.
