Characteristics: Lights on object

I witnessed what appeared to be an appearance of stationary oval disc, with a red glow underneath, at night on a main county highway.

At approximately 9:15 pm on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, I was traveling in my car eastbound on Highway K in Caledonia, WI located about two miles west of the city of Racine, WI. I was alone in the car but talking to my brother via phone. I was headed to my home in Racine when I noticed to my left what appeared to be an oval disc hovering above in the sky. It seemed to be stationary as I observed it, however on the underside of the disc appeared a bright red, almost pink glow. It made no sound from what I heard.To note, the area where I observed this just outside the city limits so there was not a lot of light in the area. I was surprised of how low the object was which ruled out the possibility of any plane and assisted in giving me a clearer look of the object. In the area, there are located multiple, well matured, large trees and, based on my estimation, the disc lingered just above the top of these trees during my initial sighting. Because the highway was one of three major arteries going into the city, I simply could not stop my care, get out, and look into the matter further at that moment. I told my brother over the phone what I was witnessing and, not surprisingly, he said little at the time. Due to my location, I was able to drive about what I would estimate to be a half city block and make a U-turn to head back west to get a clearer idea as to what I saw and, possibly, pull to the side of the road and take a picture. What I witnessed next made it seem like what I was witnessing was even more extraordinary. Upon my return, after making the U-turn, to the area where I initially saw this unidentified object, I recall catching the tail end glimpse of the object moving west away from me in approximately the same I first saw it. Within literally what I would describe in a snap second, the object appeared well west( maybe a mile if i had to guess still in the sky) from where I just witnessed it literally a moment before. I can't describe it any more precisely than what appeared to me to be some magic trick. The next second passed, and it appeared to move forward another estimated mile or so up in the sky until it appeared out of sight. Nothing happened to the vehicle I was in nor was there any time lapse involved. I will conclude by saying in my 54 year on this issue, I never held a passionate view one way or the other if UFO's or if other life in the universe exists. I grew up in a family that tended to downplay this issue based on what I believe to be religious reasons. As I've gotten older, I have gotten more open minded about it and now believe it would almost be impossible not to believe life exists beyond our planet. When asked about this incident, I'm only more than happy to state the facts of what I saw regardless of what it actually was.
