Full Description of event/sighting: Last night at around 1:20am in the morning I had gotten up from bed and walked into the kitchen, my back was turned from our rear door, but in the corner of my eye, I saw that our entire backyard was lit up bright red. I was looking around to see where the light was coming from, maybe one of the houses or the road, but there was nothing around. Our garage was closed and there was no way that much light could get through such a small gap.

There was also, a hard to explain noise of some what of a mechanical noise, not sounding like a car idling, but at the same sort of frequency. I opened the door and walked outside, still trying to see where the light was coming from. The entire backyard was still lit up in a bright red, then while standing there the light slowly moved across the yard and a little bit into the neighbors yards and then just disappeared. The entire time the dog that was in the yard over the fence from us was running up and down his fence until the light was gone.
