triangle with 3 white lights on the bottom and 1 red light on top

i was delivering newspapers on a saturday morning and had looked up in the sky from an area that i had just passed, i then noticed two white lights in the sky that looked strange that were approx. 100 to 150 feet off the ground i then was able to come back towards that area and could see under the craft to be able to see a third light making a perfect triangle from the bottom, at the time it was still to dark to see what was between the lights. on the top of the craft was a pulsating red glowing light, when i was able to get a better view i stopped my vehicle and got out and signaled the craft with my flashlight, it then dropped below the tree line and headed towards a lake area that is in the area i was in. i was able to go there but saw nothing else for about 10 minutes, i then noticed the red pulsating light going up and away towards the north. i called the local airport and they said nothing had flown in or out at 5:00 am.
