Bright lites in night sky at approx 25 degrees elevation distance 5-10 miles circular shape

Initially sighting appeared relatively flat but when using binoculars seemed rounder with bright lighting inside the ballon shaped object. Looked like it had a few support beams around the outer side of the circular object. Difficult to see in detail, but seemed like two separate major sources of the lights therein. I only watched this for a total of 10 minutes so don't know how long it may have lasted. Although now in my 90's, was an Air Force pilot for 21 years and have seen nothing like this in my over 4500 flying hours. The object appeared stationary in the night sky.
