No of observers: 2

Location: San Diego, CA, USA

Shape: Light

red light slowly moving horizontally and sometimes in a circular pattern for about 3 minutes until it faded out

My husband noticed a hovering red light in the sky. We thought it was a helicopter which we see often over a nearby freeway. It continued to move slowly in a horizontal direction, sometimes swirling in a circle like a balloon might. It once almost faded out completely but then brightened again and continued to move slowly until the light faded out completely. We watched for approximately 3 minutes and tried to record it with our digital camera but got nothing on video but dark sky.
