...a flying circular disk with bright lights on the bottom outer rim. It was about 6-20 feet in diameter, spinning and hovering

At about 10:30pm PST, my girlfriend and I were driving home from dinner about 5 miles away from our residence. On the way home, I noticed a flying circular disk with bright lights on the bottom outer rim. It was about 6-20 feet in diameter, spinning and hovering from side to side, less than 50 yards from the ground. I was about 100 yards from the object when I noticed it and I froze. My girlfriend asked me what was wrong, and I told her to turn around at the next street after we had passed it. As we drove up the hill, I got a closer look and saw that there was blue and red lights spinning around the outer rim at about 1 revolution every 5 seconds. I told my girlfriend to make a right into the "Strawberry Farms Golf Course" to take a closer look, but she refused and we had to drive another mile before we could take another glimpse at it. When we returned, the object had flown about 1/2 a mile away on top of a hill, and was very hard to spot. I was going to take a picture, but could not get a clear shot from a moving vehicle, especially with a camera phone.
