Red light over ocean water

I live on the beach and take my dog down to the shore sometimes to play. I took my dog doen to the shore to let him run when a red light caught my eye. It was about 20 miles out,and over the water. It was dark ,triangle in shape with a red light at the bottem. It hovered over the water with the reflection of the light on the water. then it shot straight up at a speed that was so fast it scared me.It had no noise at all. Silent!! I have never seen anything like that in my life.I told my mom but she said it was most likely a boat. Uh mom, boats dont fly!!
