Large, circular object with a ring of flashing red and white lights zigzag in night sky.

I was viewing the nite sky thru my skylite window when a large bright circular object with a define ring of about twelve flashing red and white lights suddenly appeared. It seemed to zigzag right to left. I woke my husband up and he confirmed what I was viewing, at this time it seemed to becoming straight towards us. It was now very large. Suddenly, it took a sharp, straight left turn and disappeared from view.
