Me and my husband had went to the backyard to view the fireworks at the strip as we live far north above the 215. My husband spotted a red light in the sky to the east. It was headed north east toward the mountains. There were no fireworks in this area and the fireworks had not even started at the strip just yet. I followed it north toward the mountain and it faded out. We have no clue what it was but we had never seen anything like it. It was red and the light faded in and out. We see planes and thing from Nellie airfield base in the sky all the time but I had never seen anything quiet like this. There was no sound besides single firecracker here and there as we followed the object. It was very interesting.
