Brightly lit object flys slowly over treeline and vanishes

At about 24:45 I came out onto my patio, facing NW and across the street I saw a disc like object directly above the treeline. It caught my attention because there were 3 flashing lights, 2 red on the outside and a white one in the middle. The outer red lights were blinking as it began going to the right. Then making no visible turn stopped and began going to the left. The outer red lights then flickered out one a time and the white light seemed to get brighter. At this time I could no longer make out the shape of the craft, just see the bright white light. There was no sound. It looked like a star, very low, directly above the treeline and it moved to my left (West) very slowly across the sky. Then it faded like it was never there. Directly after the light faded 2 planes flew in the same direction from the same distance and I could visibly see all the lights on the planes. They did not fade out as the previous object had.
