A dark ufo turned on a bright light before landing in a residential area.It was quick because we were driveing, but I was getting a ride home from a friends house, and I took a look outside at just the right time to see what we thought was a helicoptor. I thought it was odd how low it was flying, but then it stopped, dead in its tracks. It was hard to tell its shape cause we were moveing and because it was dark but it had a red light on the front of it. A bright light shot out from under neath it (like a spot light). And it began to land, atleast thats what it look like it was going to do. I didnt see any more. But the area was dense residential, and I couldnt think there it could have landed.
