Bright red light moving around the sky as if looking for something

At first, it was just a red dot, I thought maybe mars was brighter than usual, then it started moving quickly and stopping on a dime, changing directions and moving up and down all while changing from red to blue, it stuck around for around an hour moving in an area of about 6 miles or so as if seeking something, at one point an Osprey approached the position as if responding at which point the light vanished when the Osprey started to leave the light reappeared right behind it and continued circling the area as if searching. Car alarms went off in the area the craft was, I have no idea if it was connected. I wanted to take video and tried but my phone cam is terrible at night.
