Bright triangle with orange lights spotted above Mission Bay San Diego

We went down to the bay to see fireworks but could not get parking so we parked on a hill, VERY HIGH over mission bay I saw a bright orange ball. It got closer and it looked like a V, it had ~5 bright orange lights on each arm of the V. It moved VERY FAST to the left, stopped then forward and to the right. There also appeared to be some type of dripping orange fire from it, like a flare but this only happened twice. Then the lights went out one at a time on the arms and it just looked like a star that faded out. Sober as hell and still pretty freaked out about it. I am an educated middle age woman, and never saw anything like it. I just cant believe we were the only ones to see it. Im watching the news for it. Most people were watching the fireworks:( Please let us know if anyone else saw this.
