Flashing Red Llight Over Rocklin, Ca

I have seen the same lights several times in the past to weeks. They are in the NW sky from my address. Sometimes there are 4-5 lights, last night there were 2. One was white, the other was amber and would turn red and start flashing. The red flashing light was most visible and would flash and slowly and drift horizontally from side to side making it difficult to video. Last night, at one point, a commercial jet flew towards the red flashing light. The light moved over and became very small, and after the jet flew by, the light got bigger again and started flashing red. This light flashes red for a minute or so, stops and becomes amber, and slowly builds up to flashing red again. I have seen this light in the night sky over the past two weeks as I am taking my dog out before I go to bed. I've worked in aviation in the military and know this is not a helicopter, blimp, or airplane. It makes no noise and has no flight path. It's like it's just hangin! g out. It's color is not super bright. It's red like a stop light. And, it's not a solid red. I can see lines through the color and it's shape is not a circle or orb, it's shape is very interesting, almost like a winged creature. Like a giant firefly. There is definitely something going on that cannot be explained. I hesitated to report this. I don't know why others are not seeing this as it is very visible. One other point, it alternates it's flash with the other white light that I am also seeing.
