Black triangle hovering over highway in central New Hampshire

Driving up interstate 89 going north just before exit 4 in Hopkinton My son and I noticed 3 white lights hovering above the highway. When we came under the lights my son told me this thing is a big black triangle so I pulled over and got out of the car.It was loudy here with no stare visible and the light from the craft was clearly illuminating the bottoms of the cloud cover It looked to be at around 1000 to 1500 feet in altitude and a few hundred feet from tip to tip The object was dark and featureless and in the shape of a perfect triangle except for three white lights. they were located at the corners of the craft, and a single non flashing red light on the bottom directly in the center of the triangle. The object was hovering motionless above us and no noise was evident. It remained there for two minutes began slowly moving and turned to the left and began heading north following the highway we followed it for approx 3 minutes more till the object disapeared into the clouds.
