Vaguely cube shaped, with multicolored lights and some motion.

I live in a heavily forested area of Northern California. There are large gaps between the trees here. Around ten pm, I watched two crafts go across the sky, one tailing the other. The front craft (obviously a plane due to its lights and specific motion) flew off. The tailing one stayed above the horizon (visible through a large gap in the trees). It was bright white and had a vague, unchanging shape, with multicolored lights on the body (red, white, dark and light yellow, possibly some green). The lights changed often (sort of twinkled but not exactly that). My Flight Radar app showed no aircraft in the area. The craft rose up a little briefly in the space of about 45 minutes, then came back down, lower than before, and continued to hover. I got scared and left the room, but came out about an hour later and it was still there. It continued its light display. When it seemed to emit a couple of very thin rays of light, I decided to lock my doors and go to bed. I awoke at 5:30 AM and checked again to see if it was still there--it had gone.
