Full Description & Details

We were stargazing in the backyard, facing east. Before the sighting we saw a satelite and a regular commercial airplane. Then, we saw a triangular shaped object traveling south-east. It was moving faster than an airplane. It was similar to an isosoleis triangle; the two longest sides were lined with atleast 6 lights each and the shortest side appered dark/transparent. It appeared to be as large as 2 1/2 moons. It was silently traveling low in the horizon.
