Silent, pulsating, and maneuvering red light in early evening sky.
On evening walk as sunset occurred and saw bright pulsating orange/red light above treeline to my right. I ran to a clearing and watched the light apparently climb and then arc towards the SE and then slow down, almost to a standstill - with absolutely no noise. A commercial jet came into the field of view moving from North to South, with normal red and white navigation lights visible and with normal jet noise, and was at a lower altitude than pulsating light. The light then continued off into the southern/southeastern sky until it was no longer visible. So, no incredible speeds, but definitely and unusual brightness and pulsation to the light, and absolutely no sound.
My first thoughts were a drone of some kind, but it seemed too high and moved too far for a recreational drone. Also, what I saw definitely sounds similar to what others in the area are describing recently on this board.
