Bright light being followed by what appeared to be a helicopter.

I had just left my house headed for the corner store driving north west on ellinor street.When from the west i saw a bright constant white light followed by what appeared to be a helicopter about 300 feet behind.At first i thought it may be a blimp.I pulled over and got out for a better look at this.I watched as it went over downtown shelton which lights up the sky bright at night due to the lumber mills located there.This is when i realized there was nothing between the light and the aircraft.At that point all that i could figure it was was a light being followed by a helicopter.Their altitude couldnt have been more than 800 to 1000 feet yet i heard nothing.Wondering if anyone else saw this?
