a triangle shaped formation over maine

it was 10pm at night,me and a friend was watching the sky and saw what we thought was a alongated triangle shaped star formation....but then it was moving slowly. we both thought it was still a star formation but why was it moving... we noticed it moved from a bright star area further away from that point towards the mountain across from where we live. slowly the front point dimmed as it got further away....as if like going behind a cloud and then the last 2 points followed in the same direction as the first light ...it was a clear night....and still the lights dimmed slowly so we was no longer able to see it. it never lost its formation. the lights was the same color as the stars they did not blink....after the siting we say many what we feel is planes or air craft to be in the same area coming from the east horizon we saw many blinking lights around 5 or 6 so we figured some one else out there saw the lights as well.
