Saw two dark triangular shaped objects that hovered for a couple of minutes before taking off at great speed

It was the night of the Queens birthday celebrations. I had just gone with my friend and her daughter who lives next door to say goodnight. earlier in the evening the electricity had gone off in our street for about an hour. On coming out of her house I looked up in the sky to the south and noticed two motionless dark, almost black triangular objects. The sky was a bit hazy and the objects were darker than the background. They seemed quite large, maybe 50-60ft across, and hovered about 200ft up in the air. They had no other dicernable features, did not make any noise, and they were side by side (about 30ft between them and maintained that distance.I called out to my friend to come and look. She and her daughter came to see them aswell.I then ran into my house to get my son who just had time to see them before they took off at incredible speed and strait up, away from the earth. As they got higher they got closer together before becoming pinpoints of light in the night sky.I thought they may be stealth bombers but questioned this when I saw how fast they took , they seemed to defy gravity.
