I saw a craft-like object, huge bright light in the middle, surrounded by blinking red lights, hanging in the sky for 1 1/2 min.

I walked upstairs and out the east landing window I saw what I first thought was a plane, but it was moving especially slowly hozontally. In the middle, as I stared, I saw something very bright, like a bright star, and surrounding this I saw several blinking red lights in some type of circular pattern. First the blinking red lights were in the "front" of what seemed to be a craft, and then on the "side." The strange thing is that this object with the bright white light and the blinking red lights lingered in one place for what seemed to be one or two minutes, then moved out of my view (horizontally). Also at the same time I saw the object, there was a very distant blinking red light (looking like a blinking star) also seen, which I believed was connected in some way.
