Sounds like a satellite . You can if you search find out what was on the sky at a particular time and area.
If you saw some little green men, then it is a ufo[msnwink]

Got up a little early this morning at 4.00 am unusual for me .
Did anyone see a object in the sky it was very brightly lit ,round with red lights all around .
This is not a joke we thought it was a star so we got binnoculars out and had a look and yes it was round .
There must be alsorts going on in space they never tell us about ?
Well back to bed but it was a sight to see .
Makes life interesting .
