Bright orange-red light seen over San Jose, CA.

A bright orange-red object was seen from a bedroom window. We went outside to get a closer look. It was really high up in the sky, and was really bright. It seemed to be over downtown San Jose and moved toward the Cambrian area of San Jose. It moved slowly at first and then before it disappeared moved quite rapidly. At first it moved quite slowly, drifting to the right and then arcing over to the left. Then it took a straight line to the left and quickly rising and eventually disappearing. The light was solid and then quickly flickered before it disappeared. The object looked like it might have been in the shape of a boomerang, but was really high in the sky to confirm.
