Circular light moving and rotating, blinking lights along side of it

My husband and i were sitting outside on our front steps arou d 8:30pm on Thursday, April 8, 2021. The sky was perfectly clear and my husband thought we saw a "shooting star".  But it definitely was not! It was circular in shape, blinking periodically..sometimes blinking white, other times the light looked more purple in color.  We then thought it was some kind of aircraft or ufo. There was a line of lights that began to blink at the same time along each side of the circular light (similar to the way lights blink on an airplane at night) but it was not an airplane.  Sometimes it would move in a circular motion, other times it looked like an orb of some kind.  We have pictures but doesnt do it justice to what we saw in the clear, spring sky.
