Like a regular aircraft, except the lights
Appeared to be an airplane except for the lights configuration. The wings were shaped as an isosceles triangle, as are many military planes and some commercial, but the entire length of the wings had lights, don’t recall colors, rather than the relatively few lights of regular aircraft.
It was flying relatively slow, and appeared large, but I took it to be a plane coming in for a landing, which would not be unusual for the location, which was about 15 miles from RDU airport. (We also have several military bases in NC, and National Guard base, but I’ve never seen any military aircraft other than helicopters and cargo planes.) I saw this many times around rush hour over Raleigh/Cary area over a period of a couple to several months, usually when I was returning from walking my dog at a park, around rush hour. Given the location and hour, thousands of other people had to have seen it. Since I never saw any UFO reports just assumed it was a regular aircraft.
Still, it struck me as unusual, and when my teenage daughter saw it, she too thought it extremely unusual.
Since then, I’ve never seen anything like it around here or elsewhere, and also the unusualness of it has stuck with me. So today I started looking to see if I could find photos of aircraft with that kind of lighting configuration, but have found none. However, I’d love to have someone tell me it was just a regular plane.
