7 unblinking lights in triangle formation flying low and northward fast in seattle

Going to my car in the morning to leave to work, I looked up and marveled how bright the stars were. I was facing east, and turned my head slightly right to see Orion, when I noticed what I thought was a plane flying north. I thought it unusual since most planes that fly as low as I perceived this one to be, fly south to SeaTac airport or Boeing Field. Then I noticed that the lights were in a triangle formation, seven lights in all. I could not discern the craft itself, and I didn’t have much time to do so, as it was flying quite fast across the sky. It didn’t make the slightest sound, and since it was early morning the area around me was pretty quiet, I thought it odd.

I’ve never seen such a formation of unblinking lights on an aircraft before so I wondered if I had witnessed an unusual craft; that is why I decided to report it here.

Thank you.
