close encounters looking and very close it hovered and moved in abnormal directions.

My husband a I were driving down Irvine Bvld. at 9:50 pm and made a right on jefferey. Thats when we saw it at around 30 to 50 above our car.It was a disc/saucer thing with lights that moved around the outer edege and it whizzed past us without a sound.We pulled over as well as others to see whats was going on.It hovered over a field moving side to side making a low humming vibrarion.At this point it was maybe 3 to 400 feet away,it then turned vertically and shot toward the sky.then once again went horzontal and started moving in a triangle formation . at that point my husband who I might mention is a commerical pilot said maybe we should call someone.All of a sudden this thing dropped like a falling star towards the earth and stopped within feet of the ground, hovered still vertical,and then righted itself and started moving side to side once again.we thought it was maybe kids playing a prank but now having thought about it more we are not sure what happened that night on a dark road.
