A flash of green light lit the whole sky then a circular lit up aircraft came we thought it was a plane but it made no noise and didn't

We were coming home from a very late basketball game, it was just me and my dad, I was in the back seat because the front was crowded with stuff. As we were driving my dad came to a sudden stop I asked why, due to the fact that there was no stop sign and no traffic lights for miles. My dad reported seeing a huge flash of green light that lit up the sky and it couldn’t have been another car because there were none around the entire drive. We kept driving trying to forget what my dad had seen. About twenty minutes later it was about 10:07 at night (that’s what I remember) a strange saucer like object with lights around the edges was spotted by me this time, I showed my dad. “It’s just a plane” my dad told me, but I don’t think it was, it was making no noise at all and wasn’t moving, all of a sudden a bright light shown down ascending to the ground. We had stopped to look at it, and my dad wouldn’t believe it was a UFO…he didn’t want to believe it but he knows it probably was. We kept driving and I kept my eyes on the saucer like object, I looked back at my dad and said “it’s still there” he stoped the car again and I stuck my head out the window. The saucer was gone
