Disk over Center Rutland, VT

The report, as filed

On 6/11/19 at approximately 11:00 pm I went to go let my dogs out to go to the bathroom for the night. As I turned to walk away from the door I overheard my dogs starting to make growling sounds (which was very strange for them to do at such a late hour) so I turned back to the doorway and began to look around to see what would be making them growl. I scanned our yard, the street all around, then I looked up toward the east and noticed this strange light in the sky. At first I thought it was an odd airplane or something, but as I stood there, it became clear that this light did not come from an airplane. It appeared as if a bar of lights in the sky ranging from yellow to burnt orange. My best guess is that it was in the shape of a thick disk with lights around the outside. I feel absolutely ridiculous thinking this let alone saying it, but it was if it was something out of a Star Wars movie. The light began a strange dissent from the top of the tree downward on an angle, but appeared to be hovering as it moved left and right on its descent down. After a short amount of time, I would guess around 60-75 seconds (I was so mesmerized that is my best guess as to the duration from start to finish), it seemed to just stop moving and simply hover in the sky and then it just disappeared. I don’t know much about aircraft, but I have seen my fair share in the sky and this did not move like an airplane and the lights/structure was completely different.
