Large silent craft - appeared to be a disk seen from side, with six circular white lights, steady-on, and one dark red blinking light

I went outside to walk the dogs. Rural area, dark at night with no streetlights. Quiet night, cold (mid 30's), no wind or precipitation, and no one outside up and down the whole road. Scanned the sky and immediately saw this craft, far down the road, about 5 houses down, on my side. It had seven perfectly circular lights in a row, with one white light at the end and then a bright blinking red light, then 5 more steady-on white lights. It looked unusual and I watched it intently. However, with the blinking red light I thought perhaps it was a small plane, and there was an optical illusion somehow making it look like a disk, being seen from one side. This idea didn't really make sense as the small planes flown for crop-dusting locally don't fly at night. It was clearly not a helicopter or a large jet, it was far too close to the ground. In a few moments it had flown forward down the road, just above the trees, and then shifted direction toward the East right before it got to my yard. It was absolutely silent. As I watched it, I noticed it had a beautiful golden glow around the whole thing. It traveled across the street and flew behind the neighbors' house. I braced myself to hear a crash, because it was way too close to the ground, but there was no sound. I stared into the darkness on the far side of their house, to see it come out, thinking maybe it banked sharply and would be visible again as it gained altitude. Suddenly there was a bright blue-white flash, apparently coming from the neighbors' backyard (out of my line of vision) which illuminated the outline of the house on the left and a tree nearby for a brief second. Then, nothing. No sign of the craft, no unusual noises, no neighbors coming out, nothing. I stayed outside for some time watching in case it came back, but it didn't. I tried to grab my phone to take a video of it, but by the time I thought of it (as I was somewhat mesmerized by this sight!), the craft was behind the building. I still hit video record, but then turned it off again as there was nothing to see. But I saved the clip anyway as it reminds me of the time and day I saw this.
