UFO seen during June 27th fireworks at Penn's Landing

During the June 27th fireworks at Penn’s Landing in Philly, my entire family consisting of four people including myself, witnessed an aircraft flying right by the fireworks until it was behind a building where it disappeared. The craft was unlike an airplane because it had three lights which if you connected with a line would make a triangle. In addition they were not blinking lights. It’s hard to say whether the lights were from a single craft or three separate ones.

Other members of my family dismissed it as an airplane or helicopter, but I don’t think one would fly right into the fireworks. Perhaps, I am wrong and the aircraft was very far away and merely looked like it was in the fireworks but that still does not explain its unusual appearance and its abrupt disappearance.

I don’t know if anyone else saw it, but someone else should have because there were tons and I mean tons of people out on the waterfront on both the Philly and Camden sides.
