Solid structure with red light flying low performing controlled maneuvers

Me and a friend were sitting in my car when we seen an object with a red light rise into the air about 150 to 200 yards in front of us. Our first thought was that it was a shiny red balloon but it rose straight up quickly maybe 500 ft in the air and just stopped suddenly and hung there. Just a solid red light.

Then it moved to the left a ways, then to the right. It moved unlike anything I've ever seen before. Changing speeds.

I cannot guess how big it was. It wasn't very big, maybe the size of a car. The light also changed to white, as if it had turned around and I was looking at a different side to it.

I got out the car to get a better look. It went away from me and lowered seemingly to the ground about a quarter of a mile from where it was before, and it got there quickly.

I could see the light go behind some trees in the distance. I kept watching for it to rise again and it did. It came back near the same area as before flying low and moving very deliberately and strict.

There was no noise and the area of the sighting is very busy.

There are busy intersections and many shops and strip malls. I'm sure others had to have seen it.
