Large slow V shaped object making no noise flew overhead in Boxford, Mass

I am a 36 year old police officer and I was heading home from a night class. As I got off Rt 95 at Rt 97 in Boxford, I noticed a very bright orangish colored light ahead of me to the west and at a distance of a couple miles. It appeared large and very bright. As I drove towards it, it was also moving towards me. After driving approximately 3 mins I noticed other lights and thought maybe it was an airplane afterall. As we continued to draw closer, it became evident it was too large to be a plane. I then noticed a shape through the trees and it was V shaped with lights down both sides. I pulled over with another vehicle and got out as it passed over the road. It made no sound and was proceeding slowly and took approximately 6 or 7 seconds to pass directly over us. I would say it was approximately 350 feet long. It continued south past us and towards the Boston area. I have never seen anything like it before and wasn't going to say anything until I saw a special earlier tonight and was shocked because on tv they showed a depiction exactly of what I had seen.
