Bright light that seemed to follow me, then a triangle shape that appeared above the trees.

I am not sure of the date or time, but it was at least 20 years ago and it was at night. I was driving to Ringgold from Rossville and as I got close to the intersection of Battlefield Parkway and Three Notch Rd, I noticed a really bright light in the sky off to my right. I don't know why it caught my attention, but I noticed it looked like it wasn't moving. I told myself it was just a star or helicopter, but when I rolled my windows down, I didn't hear anything. I kept getting drawn to watching it. When I turned onto Three Notch Rd, I looked back and it was gone. When I was getting ready to turn left into my driveway a few miles from where I saw the light, I glanced up above some tall trees and saw a huge triangular shaped thing come from the treeline. It had lights on the bottom, I can't remember the exact colors but it seems like there was white and blue. I stared at it for a few seconds and then as I was driving up my driveway, I called inside the house to try to get someone to come out and look. I parked my car and I heard my dog making some really weird noises. He was a husky mix so I know they "talk", but these sounds were different. It was the only time I'd ever heard him make these sounds. My mom finally answered the phone and I asked her to come outside and see if there was anything hovering above my car. She laughed, but she also heard my dog making those weird sounds and she could tell that I was freaking out. By the time she walked upstairs to come out, there was nothing there. When it was coming over the trees, I couldn't see it anymore after it went above my car. I thought maybe it was just directly above me, but it had disappeared as quickly as it appeared. I know it sounds crazy, but I know my dog saw it that night as well. I haven't seen it or anything else like it ever since.
I did read an article one day about someone that saw something very similar around 20 years ago and I'm thinking that it was probably around the same night.
