My friend and I were in a parking lot (there was a moon) heading to our vehicle. I looked up and saw what I thought at first were meteors coming down but I quickly realized they were coming down too uniformly and not burning out (not leaving a trail). At first I was seeing two 'burns' then, looking for more, I looked ahead of the direction they were going and seen a third 'burn'. I didn't think of them as lights, they were more like a friction burn . These three burns against the starry sky outlined a huge triangular object. We were heading to work therefore didn't wait for it to go out of sight. I called the local TV station the next day and was told they were meteors. I told them I had seen them and they were not meteors.
