Triangular Shaped Craft with a bright light on each tip

I was standing outside my house smoking (about 120th & Colorado Blvd) Looking up at the sky and on the far horizon was a craft. At first I thought it was just another airplane but then as it approached I noticed that it's lighting pattern was different. The same exact aircraft over alaska is what I saw. A perfect triangle aircraft with 1 bright light on each tip and a multi color beacon in the middle. The craft was flying below the clouds (low cloud cover because of the cold front so about 5,000 ft) and went from horizon to horizon in about a minute and a half. (From the south to the north parallel to the Rocky Mountains) I got a very good look at the craft and because of the light reflection off the cloud cover I was able to see very good detail. The craft had some kind of Headlight / Spotlight used to see in front of it. The engine was very quiet yet audible (I was in a quiet area) the tone of the engine was unlike any I have heard before.
