Firstly...I live in South Australia so it's night time here. Where I live is a very, very tiny hamlet. It's rural...the sea is about 20 mins drive away and the land here is mostly farm and just bush...scrubby hills with no houses on them.
There are other houses here where I live and shops but it's out of the way. We never see planes...it's not on a flight path. We see the odd helicopter on the way to check a shark sighting but that's all.
I was sitting in my patio area which backs onto the garden....behind the garden is a vast open area with a few trees.
I saw a bright orange light in the sky and thought "oh...a plane...that's novel."
It flew behind the trees...they're BIG tress and I lost sight of it for a few seconds.
I could hear this very loud drone noise...a big engine....then it appeared again as it traveled past the trees...and it was COVERED in lights. Red, white and orange. It was enormous! And low.
As it was dark it was hard to make the actual shape out but to me it looked like the Maltese Falcon! Like a big disc....I called DH who came and gaped open mouthed.
It was so big and so weird looking that we were lost for words.
When we discussed what we'd seen we had different impressions...he saw it as kind of triangular "like some stealth bomber thing with mainly orange lights but fire and haze coming out the back"
Whilst I saw a big, Maltese Falcon looking thing with about 15 lights all over it....red, orange and white.
What was it? Is there some Military thing that looks like this?
AIBU?
To wonder what the hell this aircraft was?

Google stealth bombers and see if it looks like that
Otherwise, aliens 
On a more serious note 
Do you have any local facebook groups/forums?
Perhaps you could ask on there if anyone else saw it?
Did it look like this? It was Santa as depicted in Arthur Christmas
Sallingforth that website is genius I especially liked the following line:
The thought screen helmet has effectively stopped several types of aliens from abducting or controlling humans. Only one failure since 1998.
What failure?! I am intrigued and entertained.
