Red light hovering over Tucson

I was outside taking the trash out when i looked to the south and saw a red light flying northbound in the sky. The light had stopped at exactly 12 o clock (right above my house) and was hovering for about 10 minutes. I called my family outside and 2 of my neighbors to witness this object. I looked at the light with my binoculars and i could tell how the light would change shape from round to triangular and then from triangular to round. The light would change shapes constantly. The light then started traveling south again and stopped aproximately above Aviation and Country Club. A helicopter started circling the object (for about 3 minutes) with the spotlight on the object. After the 3 minutes with the helicopter circling the object, the red light turned off and completely dissapeared in less than a second.

I was expecting to hear more about this event on the news but was not covered by any news channel.
