Strange light In NAS Lemoore airspace.

I work at the night shift In NAS LEMOORE. We were walking in the flight deck to ensure all the planes were secured when i looked to the sky and saw what looked like a shooting star and i told my other buddies so we were looking at it and the "UFO" started noving in a weird pattern going to the south.

the red light then made a spiral and disappeared.

like 2 minutes later we saw a fast aricraft making rounds in the area where we saw the object. we know its not one of our aircraft because all the planes were grounged. Then, like 1 1/2 hours later we saw the same red light only that this time the light "exploded" leaving a bright white light that looked like an asteroid "whit a tail" that dicipated in a "cloud" but there were no clouds in the sky that night.
