Trangular shaped translucent object with lights

While driving east toward Silver City, my wife, son and I observed what appeared to be a large triangular shaped object moving rapidly in a north-northeast direction. To me, the triangle seemed to be translucent orange/yellow. The peak of the triangle appeared to be "up" and at the peak was a bright light shining to the rear. There was another light at roughly the lower right corner of the triangle. We think this light was blinking.

As for size, I would guess 1 to 2 moon diameters, maybe more. We lost sight of it for a few seconds and when we saw it again, it was disappearing behind a line of mountains to the east of Silver City.
