Circle over Mesa (Historic part), AZ

The report, as filed

• Went out on porch for a smoke just after 2a.m. • Saw a perfect circle of red (only) lights blinking all blinked at same time, no other lights were seen. • All the lights blinked at the same time and blinked quickly, seemed faster than any other aircraft lights blink. • It looked like it was flying on its side. Like a dinner plate on its side. • It was flying very fast, planes go over me every night, and I am in the airport flight pattern for landing. The object was going the opposite direction than all other aircraft normally go. • There was no noise; it was close enough that I should have heard it. I hear other aircraft in the same area and I do hear those. • It seemed to be flying much closer to the ground than the usual aircraft fly even if landing or taking off. • Did anyone else see it, or am I losing my mind?
