Characteristics: Lights on object, Landed

Saucer shaped object with red, green, and blue lights observed approx. 1/4 - 1/2 mile away. Object hovered then appeared to land in woods.

My brother, newphew, 2 of his friends, and I were over at my brother's house which is near the Cedar Ridge area in Dallas. We were watching TV when I noticed that a dark object was hovering outside up in the sky approximately 1/4 - 1/2 mile up to the south of his house through an opened balcony door (I was sitting on the floor). There appeared to be blue, green, and red lights turning on and off on the underside of the craft (or whatever it was). My brother had just gotten a new digital video camera so I asked him if I could see it. I obtained approximately 2 or 3 minutes footage of it hovering with the lights turning on and off before it moved to my left (east) and out of my sight behind some trees. The object appeared to descending as it moved out of my line of sight. I saw no other lighting and the object appeared to be hovering when I first saw it. No detetectable sounds or other lighting appeared to emanate from the object.
