Chevron shape of pale white/yellow lights flying overhead with no sound.
Happened to be looking up at the right time. It was warm and clear, maybe hi 60's and we (husband and I, (I'm a homemaker) were showing our son the big dipper constellation. We were all looking up in that general direction for about one minute, when I saw it.
I'd like to note that there is a sort of lighthouse style arm or ray of light, very faint that rotates over the apartment complex that we live in. I'm not sure of its source. But it's always there night after night, probably/maybe from a local building. The arm of light is such that if the cloud cover is low, the light seems to skim the bottom of the clouds. The light makes a full rotation about every 7 seconds. I just went outside (it's now 23:20) to time it and it wasn't on. So not sure what that is about. I'm not outside this late very often.
I was looking up and following the faint pale search light with my eyes as it was skimming the sky (right above my head, I was looking straight up) when in the lights path was a chevron shape of lights ( it reminded me of those black military stealth bomber planes in the shape of it.) The sighting lasted about 5 seconds and it seemed to be smoothly flying across the sky heading from east to west. The lights were tiny and a faint yellow/white color. The stars making up the big dipper were brighter and bolder. It's hard to recall but maybe there were 10 or fewer lights. As it traveled away from me it was even harder to keep my eyes on it (the lights bordering the shape got less intense as it flew away) and about 5 seconds later it seemed to disapear into the blackness of the night sky. I couldn't follow it as far as I could follow an airplane in the night sky. I'd like to note that it made NO SOUND. I was excitely trying to direct my husband to see it, but, like I sa! id the event was so quick and had my eye been still looking at the big dipper itself, I'm pretty sure I would have never caught a glimpse of it .
