Large cigar shaped object with lights in sequence from left to right then right to left traveling at high speed in a straight line

A single very large cigar shaped object with lights flashing from left to right, then right to left in sequence as it passed over me with my moon roof open. Was silent and traveled at a high rate of speed and in a straight line. Height was approximately 15 degees into the horizon.

Size fit into the space between my right index finger and thumb at its closest point to me.

Clearly seen for approximately 4 minutes. Attempted to follow west into Des Moines. Lost sight due to obstructed views and distance. Could not identify colors as I am color deficient red/green. I am a former Deputy Sheriff and long time former criminal investigator on the civilian side.
