Instant cloud formation with red glowing craft behind it, stationary.

Today, Saturday, January 22 just after 1:20 PM while out for a walk, I had stopped to rest and enjoy nature and the sky. It was a beautiful, clear day, good weather, blue sky with just a few clouds very far to the S. There were no clouds at all in my vicinity. Suddenly, in an instant, I saw a round while cloud form very high in the sky to the E. A second later my eye caught a bright, red, iridescent object glowing through the cloud's center. It was definitely not a plane/helicopter light, no noise at all. It remained stationary behind the cloud, not moving. Although at an extremely high altitude, it appeared to be horizontal in shape, not round. There was a clearly visible glimmer to the red, iridescent object. I continued to watch it for several minutes. It remained centered behind the cloud, the red glimmer shining through the cloud in thinner areas of the cloud. The cloud looked small from my vantage point but, it was at such a high elevation it must have been must larger in actuality. After a few minutes the cloud instantly vanished, poof, just at it had formed instantly, the red craft then very slowly moving to the W. The object vanished in a moment afterward.
I probably would not have noticed it were it not for the instant cloud formation and the red, glowing, iridescent object seen through the thinner parts of the cloud. It was seen in zip code 92111.
A neighbor came my way during the sighting, asking what I was so intent in looking at in the sky. Hoping to get his input as another witness, he just
chuckled and walked away when I told him to look up at the red object behind the small cloud. He dismissed it all.
