Full Description & Details

On the evening of January 5, I noticed a brightly lit object in the sky near our barn. At first I thought it was a small plane, but then realized it was moving too slowly, and there was absolutely no sound of any engines. The object had very bright lights in different colors -- electric blue, green, yellow, and fuchsia pink. It moved very slowly from left to right and back again, a distance of approximately 500 feet. Sometimes it hovered above the ground. I observed it for about 8 minutes, and looked through binoculars. It appeared to change shape from a winged object similar to an airplane to a round object with scintillating lights around the edge. It also appeared to be performing some sort of aerobatics, flipping and turning occasionally. It eventually rose up and disappeared over a nearby ridge. I took photographs.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

I've never seen anything like this. I can't imagine what it might be.
