Red light appears, disappears, and the reappears in a different spot; followed by white/violet lights flashing like sparkles.

I have been a skywatcher and UFO researcher my entire life.  I know where most (wandering stars) planets are and a decent amount about where the constellations are.  Look… You know when you have seen one.  There is no question.  Something lets you know that this moment is different from everything else you have witnessed.  
This is the second sighting I have witnessed in two years.  The first was two years ago (a white orb) between June 6-9, 2012, and just yesterday June 10th, 2014, at 23:00 hours; approximately a year and a day later, which I find to be significant in itself.
Mostly cloudless night, upper atmosphere clouds scarce.  Red light gradually appeared out of no where around 160 degrees SW.  Came into focus for 3-5 seconds then dimmed out the same way it came into focus.  Red light then reappeared at about 125 degrees SW a bit lower on the horizon and disappeared in the same fashion as before.  Then at about 33 degrees on the horizon and at about 135 degrees SW appeared several flashing white/violet lights the size of stars, but within our atmosphere, like sparkles flashing randomly but yet sequentially.  My friend and I both witnessed the event.
My First Sighting:  The person I saw my first sighting with (different person from this most recent sighting) told me a story in 2010 about being brought up (abducted) and would not discuss it again when I confronted him on the subject at later dates.  I knew for about a year or so I was going to see one soon and was watching the sky intently.  Later that night I asked my friend if we should report it.  Him and his brother said the next time I can report it. I replied to them both by saying, I don't know,  I have been waiting my whole life to see one; it's kind of a once and a lifetime experience.  My friend said no maybe in a couple of years and it became clear to me he knew this to be a future factual happening which it has now turned out to be.  There is more to this story; a big piece.  I'm not going to write about it.  Too difficult.  Contact me.
