Duration: few minutes
No of observers: 0

Location: Antelope, CA, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

broken trangular patterned lights

I saw three craft which I assumed to be aircraft flying above and to the side of the football stadium. I heard a friend who was sitting at the top of the stadium talking loudly and I looked in his direction. My eyes were drawn above the top seats of the stadium, where I saw three craft flying in a V shaped formation. I thought little of it since there is an Air Force base near the school and I have seen airplanes fly out of the base under cover of darkness and escorted by quiet helicopters before. Later on I began asking people who are familiar with military aircraft if they had seen or were aware of the type of aircraft I had seen that night. They all said no. The craft were different than anything I had ever seen before in that they seemed to be flying at a speed and height comparable to a regular aircraft when approaching for landing, made absolutely no noise, and had lights which moved around the bottom of each craft in a broken triangular pattern. The lights were white. I saw no landing type lights in areas where I would expect wings to be. I could not see a definite shape to the crafts, only the shape of the lights. I am curious whether anyone else has seen aircraft similar to these/this, with lights in a broken triangular pattern on the bottom. Do we have military aircraft with these types of lights?
