Unknown Aircraft Hoovers in Silence

Sunday, November 22, 2009 I was driving home from the grocery store. I was headed East on Decoto Road at around 6:45pm when I noticed a flying aircraft of some sort traveling South; parallel to Mission Blvd, right above the hills. I noticed one red light, one teal looking light and one white light. Naturally I thought it was a commercial airline until it made a very quick right turn going west. That is what caught my attention right away. I came to a red traffic light and continued to watch the aircraft fly west to the right of me. As it got closer I noticed it switched angles and I could now see only three vertical, round red lights blinking in a sequence. Then not a moment later the aircraft came to a complete stop in mid air and hovered in the same spot. I honked my horn to get the driver next to me to look up and see what I was seeing, but they just drove off. The traffic light had now turned green, so I pulled my car over to the side of the road and got! out. I stood and watched this aircraft hover for about a minute or two. I noticed that I could not hear any sort of noise coming from this aircraft either. I think it might have been about 2 or 3 football fields in the air. It defiantly seemed noticeably close. The aircraft then started to move again and it continued west until I could not see it anymore.
