July 4th 2007
My dad and I are out watching the fireworks at about 10pm. When they all subside, we can see what looks like a satellite (because of the fact it had no blinking lights and was moving in the same fashion).

What we didn't expect was for this thing to stop, turn blood-red, turn about 45 degrees and then increase speed at an incredible rate until it was out of sight.

We still talk about this. Could it be that it was some form of intelligent life that saw the fireworks covering most of North America and wanted to investigate?

Perhaps.

no no
I meant which 4th! I saw something just like that this year on the 4th! I thought "Hey, a satellite!" And then, just like you described, it turned a deep red and scidaddled! It was madness!
