Dim yellow lights on a solid object moving silently and quickly

My mother and I were standing outside when I looked up and saw an object moving from West to East. It had dim yellow lights that were spaced out evenly in the front and were in the form of a triangle but without the sharp point (more of smooth edges). The back of it also had dim lights but fewer in numbers. One or two lights of same nature in the middle. When I noticed it first it was a bit illuminated by the light from the ground and I could see a shape of it. It was a solid object (dark) except for the lights, and it almost looked like an egg, but it was so quick that I'm afraid I could be mistaken of the shape. My mother saw it at the same time, but as I called my husband out of the house, the object disappeared behind the trees. It was flying silenty, and rather fast. It didn't look like a plane, because it appeared to have too many lights and it was too broad. It couldn't have been a flock of birds because it didn't change shape and moved too fast. It just didn't look like anything I've seen before. I am very puzzled. I would like to add that my mother had a sighting several weeks ago. An object of a triangular shape with dim yellow lights on both sides, looked almost like a flock of geese, flew silently and quickly over our house. She thought that it was birds, but first it's too late in the season, second, it was dark, so nothing could illuminate the birds like that, and third, the lights didn't change shape.
