another red orb in our neighborhood

I was outside on my front porch trying to figure out how to work my new telescope, first I focused on the moon, I was trying to see the stars but couldn't quite get it adjusted so I turned it to the bridge lights to see what they would look like.

I looked up from the scope and there was another of those big red orbs above the bridge, I couldn't really tell if it was above or further away but it was about 3 time the height of the lamp post and 1/3 larger than looking at a full moon with naked eye, I ran into the house to call my mom and son out to see it but when I came back out it was gone.

I had to leave for work at 9 pm from the time I saw it until I left there was a red and green lit large helicopter flying our area. This isn't what I saw to begin with as the light on helicopter flash the orbs look like a huge break light.
