A triangular shaped object flies near the freeway and hovers

I was driving along the 101 freeway traveling west bound when suddenly I noticed an object flying towards me. At first my friend and I thought it was a commercial jet, but as it got closer to us we noticed it have 3 bright lights. We then realized it was not a commercial jet because by the speed and altitude it traveled at, it was impossible that a plane of that size could be flying that low. At a point it almost appeared as if it was going to land on the freeway. As we began to pass it on the freeway it hovered above us, and we were able to see a clear view of the object. It had three bright lights and had a triangular shape with a non reflective black surface. We then tried to follow it by getting off the freeway and chasing it down the surface streets, but as we got closer it just dissapeared in the night. I should add that there was also a helicopter very close to the object traveling in its same direction.
