Location: London (Canada), ON, Canada

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Small red and white light travelling in odd directions.

I wrote this down on August 25/95, but noted that it was "a few nights ago" so I'm guessing early in the morning of the 23rd. I was looking out into my backyard, and a large red light, with a smaller white one (neither flashing), slowly travelled from the west to the east. After coming into my view, it passed behind some buildings (about half a kilometer away), then seemed to be travelling north, stopping (from my point of view) behind a tree in my backyard. It immediately reappeared from behind the tree and travelled back the way it came, repeating this 4 or 5 times. It wasn't making any noise, and didn't seem to be moving in any way that a plane would move. It was travelling about as fast as you'd expect a plane to travel, though.
