Characteristics: Lights on object

Lights over Lexington KY in a "V" shape formation. Heading North.

5:30 AM I was coming home from work (I work at the Post Office late shift.) Driving from West to East on New Circle road when I noticed a series of lights over the Fayette Mall area on Nicholasville road. The thing that caught my eye was that the lights were stationary and not moving much. At this point it looked like a single line of white lights. I would estimate the pattern to be the size of a Concord jet (I have see one of those before flying kind of low in Europe at a special air show, so I know how big they look.) I was driving toward the object when it did something that really caught my attention. It made a right angle turn in the sky. It did not make a slow turn like a plane but a rotating right angle turn. When it turned like that I could see that it was "V" shaped. I have seen the TV show where all of these people saw a "V" shaped object and it looked just like that. After that, it headed North at a very high rate of speed. It was gone extremely fast. There were light clouds but I could see the object clearly. I was about a mile away. I almost stopped my car and got out to watch it. It was so unusual.
