Green light and white flashes light up tree's outside my house, and we see ufo dissapear into the night sky.

In the very early morning (about 1:00 a.m.)of June 24, my girlfriend and I were watching a movie in our house. Our house is on the very top of a hill and the side facing most of contra costa county is all windows and sliding glass doors. I was seated facing the windows. Suddenly, the tree's outside lit up with an extremely bright white flash. At first I thought it ust be lightning. Then 10 seconds later the was another bright white flash that lit up the tree's. My girlfriend also saw the second white flash and we immediatly walked over to the window to see what was happening. Not more than 5 seconds after looking out the window we both saw a bright green light lighting up the tree's and moving straight up towards the sky. We both ran outside to get a better look. We saw an aircraft hovering above the tree's for about 3 seconds and it then shot straight up into the sky and dissapeared. When we were outside the green light emitted from the aircraft was so bright we could not tell what shape it was. We watched the sky for another 3 minutes and saw nothing so we returned inside. What puzzled both of us is that once inside we noticed the stereo had turned on as well as the ceiling fan. There was no one else in the house! My girlfriends cellphone started ringing and was called 5 times in approxamately 3 minutes. Everytime she picked up the phone she just got a dialtone. Each of the 5 times her phone was called the caller i.d. just show the number ***. Three star signs, thats it. We both know what we saw and we were not drinking that night. I was not a full believer in ufos before this incident, but what we saw outside and then electronice in my house getting turned on and my girlfriends phone getting called with the number (***) haschanged my mind. I know what I saw and am now a believer.
