Was dropping off a friend at about eight thirty pm. When I pulled out of the driveway and turned the car I noticed what looked like airplane lights (which I am very familiar with being an avid ufo researcher, and living close to an airport). I called the friend I had just dropped off to come out to see it, and when he did the light began to pulse on and off, and when the light completely dimmed you could not see much of a craft, there were no headlights on the craft, and there were several planes in the area at the time that had distinctly different lights, both brighter, and more of them. This was three lights that seemed to spin going from white to red, to white, and then repeat. I also noticed what looked like little bursts of light around the craft that appeared white, beige, and a deeper, darker red than what was on the craft.
