Bright Red Beacons

Last night flying from Rome to Brussels at FL320 we saw an aircraft opposite direction above us with very bright red top and bottom beacons. They were flashing at about 1 or 2 second intervals. Much brighter than strobes but not dazzeling.
Is this perhaps the latest beacons from Airbus / Boeing or would it be Military?

Just wondering
Cheers, Dixi.
