Triangular object encounters small plane in the night sky

I was out walking my dog when I noticed a strobe in the vicinity of the setting Big Dipper. It moved to three different spots in a matter of seconds. I quickly went inside to get my DV video camera and when I came back out of course it was gone. The strobe light of a small plane approaching from the southwest caught my eye. Noticing that it was a plane by the red and green wing lights I was going to go back inside when I noticed something to the left of the plane. I pointed my camera at it and caught what seems to be a triangular craft approaching the plane from the left. I came closer to the plane and then seemed to move at the same speed. I continued videoing it until they both dissappeared to the north east. It may be nothing, but no one can explain it.
