Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

We saw a light in the sky moving rapidly in almost a circular motion We then started to drive towards the object and ended up parking and then standing underneath the object staring at it. It had no sound and was hovering maybe 30 to 50 yards above us. Next it started to move but very slowly and barley clearing the tree tops. We got back in the car and followed it for about 10 miles before it took off very quikley until it was out of sight. We did not report it because we thought we were crazy or people would think that. till tonight when I picked up a book in a store and saw a picture of what we had witnessed and realized there was an actual name and other reports of what we had seen. right after we had seen the object we returned home were I told my sister and bestfriend about it. My friend actually called information and got a number for reporting ufo sightings, but I was reluctent to call and never did.
