Very bright yellow light in the low sky that changed to a very dim red blinking light

Sitting in my living room looking out westward toward West Fairlee where there was a very bright yellow light in the low sky, probably 4-6 miles away moving very slowly from the west toward the south. I stepped outside on the patio as it was really bright, see small planes all the time in the area but this did not have a visible shape or making any sound. Right after I stepped outside to look an actual plane flew south to north, red & green blinking lights and could hear the delayed engine sound, the bright light was still to the west when even further out west I hear a fighter jet flying north from south(common sight)...as soon as I heard the jet sound, the bright yellow light immediately faded out to a barely noticeable blinking red light that i had to really squint to see. I tried to keep eyes on it as it moved to the south until it was out of my field of sight, no sound of engines or anything..silent
