Saucer craft seen hovering 300ft above ground for about 5 mins.

I was coming home from work when I noticed something in the sky that appeared to be hovering and going off in all sorts of directions. I thought that it might be because I was going around a bend and it was an optical illusion until I hit a straightaway and was able to see it. It was a Saucer shape and was hovering. I pulled off the road into a parkinglot and got out of my car and watched it for about 5 min. It would hoover then shoot straight up, stop, shoot to the right, stop, shoot to the left, and so on. The craft had one steady red light and one single white light that faded from bright to dim. It was probabaly half a mile or so away to the north and about 300 ft in the air of so. I remember thinking if these people that I saw were seeing it to cause to the north of the parking lot there was a trailor park and one trailor had a bunch of people on the deck and I could hear them chattering about something. I decided to take off and get a closer view of the object. So I got in my car and went north to the point were I thought the object was only to find out it disappeared. The next day I was going to work and I saw a fighter jet go over the same area flying low which is wierd cause it was the first fighter jet I have ever seen. They just dont fly around low where you can see the camo paint job. Another wierd point that I discovered was that it could of been hovering over an electric sub-station for Consumers Energy.
