i want to say what i have a seen

I don't want to say I have seen a UFO but don't know what else it could be :
Right.Literally about 30 minutes ago I was sat in my room having a break from cleaning it when i looked out the window and saw a big bright ball of red light flying across the tops of the houses before disappearing down a street behind a load of houses.When I first saw it I thought it could have been a flare but it didn't act like a flare.I know that they have a inner bright light with a glow around them,go out after a few moments,have smoke,and are shot upwards and fall down vertically.This had none of those qualities.It flew in a perfectly straight horizontal line (through strong rainy winds) Then I thought it wouldn't have been a aircraft as I would have seen the whole plane or helicopter,heard it,the light would flash and an aircraft wouldn't have been flying through houses.I have no idea of explaining it.It was getting thrown about in the high winds we have right now and it was a constant big bright red ball of light.I duno what else it could be.It didn't have anything else to it.It was just a ball of light.but if flew perfectly and smoothly.It was going at a steady constant speed but it wasn't fast.I was too busy trying to think of what it was to try and get a picture or video :/ bit gutted.Also my dog started to bark at it until it disappeared.Is there anything it could be?I don't have an explanation :L my boyfriend thinks im on drugs lol.Would anyone know what it could be?thanks :)
