Good video of strange object flying over my town.

I am an amateur astonomer who takes photos out my window. I was trying to get some photos of Jupiter before I would have to leave for work at 9:30pm. As I was setting up my scope, I saw a solid red object fly by from left to right (north to south). I thought it was a small private airplane, but I wondered why the red light did not blink.

I looked out the window a few minutes later, and this object was flying directly over my head, northeast to southwest. I put my head out the window and listened carefully, but there was absolutely no sound. I went about setting up my scope.

A few minutes later, this object flew above my head again, but in the opposite direction, from southwest to northeast. It was flying quite fast, but suddenly stopped still and hovered. I grabbed a pair of binoculars and looked at it. It was two solid red lights that were not blinking. Suddenly, a bright green light flashed several times between the two red lights.

At this point I grabbed ! my Iphone and took a video. The object sat still for a minute or so, then moved slightly down and to the right, then reversed to the left. Again, it sat for still for a minute or so. Then it moved upward, and even seemed to be approaching me. Then it flew out of sight to the southeast. I will send this video to you, it is very clear.

I uploaded my video to Youtube, here is the link.
