Solid bright red light, with intermittent white flashing while hovering in a stationary locationWe saw a bright, solid red light hovering to the South of us. It stopped moving, and then flashed a white light (like a camera) about a dozen times. Then the red light moved a bit West, stopped and flashed white again. The red light was constant. The flashing white was something extra.It was higher than I would think a civilian drone could fly. Lower than most planes, higher than most helicopters we see.It would hover while flashing. Then it would move South and West, then stop and flash again. A few times it flashed the white light while moving, but most of the time it would stop – flash – then move again.The flash couldn’t be for taking pictures because it was night and the flash wouldn’t do any good that distance from the ground? A helicopter flew past our house in the direction of the light a minute later, but there is a hospital in that direction so that may be unrelated.The thing eventually disappeared behind houses to the South of us.
