Very large, bright red object with secondary flashing green light below

Was getting out of my car after pulling into my backyard parking area near the downtown / Colonialtown area of Orlando. Noticed a very bright red light above my house that appeared to look like a red light on top of a cellphone tower with secondary small green light underneath flashing. I thought this strange since there are no towers nearby and one couldn't have been erected in 15 minutes before I went to the corner store. I reached for my phone but the battery was dead. I thought it was then perhaps a helicopter but there was no sound whatsoever. The object then made a quick movement slightly to the north and stopped. It then made a fast drop, like a stone, to the north west and got out of sight behind some trees. I ran out to the road and got a better view of it. It continued its path almost out of sight behind trees and houses. on the horizon. Before it slipped completely out of sight, it made a hard erratic 90 degree turn parallel to the horizon to the e! ast.
