Spacecraft hovering with bluish lights from rectangular windows ( 8 ) enormous in size - quiet - peaceful

My mother and I were coming home from a relatives house.  We were stopped at a light and in the distance less than a quarter of a mile away we see a spacesship suspended above a reataurant.  There were rectangular shaped windows with a bluish light shining thru the eight windows. within seconds a honing sounded and the craft moved back and disappeared within seconds.  We failed to report the incident, but later learned that a police officer witnessed a similiar event.  The only reason I am reporting this years later is to find out whether or not other people from the N.Y. area witnesses this phenomenom. 
I watched a program 3 years later on ufo sightings and it was reported that a number of witnesses reported spacecraft in and around Conneticut, Long Island, and Westchester.
