1967 object seen in gerry, new york made no noise as it flew in the sky.

This obect seemed to be on the ground as we came up the road.  My mother thought the house was on fire, cause of the lights looked like a fire truck was at our house.As we went arounded the bend it raised up over the trees in our meadow and sat there.  We got up the road to within two hundred yards of our house, which the meadow is before the house.  Out in the middle of our field about 500ft up was this object with lights going on and off.  My mom stopped the car and said to me, half asleep, rolled down your window to see if there is ant noise. I did , I was seven at the time ,I know that if something is up in the sky, it has a sound, this thing made no noise at all.I could not understand why there was no noise at all. I could hear the peepers peep? Mom called the troopers , they made a joke of it. my dog acted crazy when we first came home after it , the object left.I dont know what it was?
