I went outside to bring my dog in and i saw a really bright star so i thought the stars were out that night and i looked up only to realize it was a really cloudy night. i heard this weird loud sound like someone was tapping on a microphone or something but it echoed through the whole neighborhood. then i saw this sparkly (not flashy, sparkly) circular object that was sparkling red and white. i do not know how else to explain it but it was shimmering in the sky. it was relatively near me at first but it started going more towards the town. other people must have seen it. i am reporting it because i cannot stop thinking about it and i am wondering if anyone else has seen the same thing.
