relatively small 28 inch diameter golden oval disc crossing a rural county road

I am reporting for a neighbor who saw a relatively small 28 inch diameter golden oval disc crossing the road ahead of him. He was in his vehicle on a very rural wooded county road & watched the object cross the road in front of him about 15 feet below tree top level, approximately 3 car lengths away. The object was golden in color & pulsated without being brightly lit. The object was apparently silent. It maneuvered around & between bare tree limbs & trunks, then hesitated before darting quickly across the road. The observer was facing east & the object was traveling north.

Right after this sighting the observer’s sister heard & saw three fighter jets flying extremely low, at treetop level, directly above the house which is very near the sighting. The jets came & went.

I live about a 1 ½ miles north of these neighbors. My husband & I both heard & saw low flying fighter jets at about the same time (4 pm) on December 2, several days before we knew about the sighting.

In retrospect I recall looking out my windows or running out the front door at least twice in the week prior to this sighting because I’d also heard unusually low aircraft & then saw fighter jets flying above our home on those occasions. Their direction was always north to south or back again. I remember being surprised that the aircraft were so loud & were flying so slowly at this low altitude although they looked like jets.

Is it possible this object was in the neighborhood for a few days?
