Bright red light moved in one direction stopped, changed directions, stopped again, then moved on and disappeared.A friend and I were walking along the beach one night in Maui, year 2011, when I spotted a red light moving through the sky. I found it strange that the light was solid and did not flash like most aircraft and so I stopped to observe it. As we watched the light move, it came to a complete stop. After a brief moment, it changed directions completely and began what seemed like a new route before coming to a complete stop againow. It then began to move in a different direction once more. The entire route from the start of us watching to the end resembled somewhat of a Z movement, having stopped at the two points of the z before moving on. While the sky was actually mostly quite clear, the light moved behind a very thin cloud. The cloud dissipated shortly there after and the light was completely gone.
