I was a teen asleep in my room, facing the woods when suddenly my room lit up with a blue & red or pink color light for about 2-5min

I was a teenager that was pretty afraid of the dark and it was VERY dark in the back of our farmhouse. Behind our home there is about 1/2 acre of woods ending at a pond a good ways back. There are also OLD stone walls back there that used to divide property in the 20s is what we were told, just very old woods. Because I was afraid of the dark since childhood (I also suffered from Alice in Wonderland syndrome as a kid, but outgrew it by my teenage years), I used to sleep with one window shade halfway down on the closest window to me (across from my bed & where my head would be, so I could look out the window) and the other shade beside that window would be closed all the way. Suddenly one night I woke up to a SUPER bright light luminating my bedroom, but it was not a white or light bulb type light, it had a blue and light red color at the same time. At that moment, my dad came upstairs and into my room, where he pulled down that halfway up shade ALL the way down and just stood off to the side of the window peaking out through the side of the shade. I asked what was going on and he Shhhhhh'd me. After what felt like a few minutes, it was just gone. My dad stood looking for a few minutes as my room and the backyard returned to darkness and he lifted my shade back to the halfway position and told me to go to sleep, whatever it was is gone. I never saw anything like that again and when I tried asking my dad about it, he'd just shrug it off and say who knows....he NEVER told me what, if anything, he seen. I do know our closest neighbor called the next morning and asked if we had seen anything weird last night and my dad told him about the lights, but I didnt hear much more of the conversation because he went in another room and continued the call out of earshot. I do know that neighbors son came over later that day and we talked about it and scoured the yard for any sign of something off, lol, not sure what we were looking to find, holes in the ground, or spots of dead grass, but I also searched the whole following week and found nothing off.
