Huge triangle with red lights

While walking North in my neighborhood of West Hollywood, I noticed a red light in the sky, then a moment later, I saw a second red light moving in tandem with the first light (from my perspective about an arm's length away from each other).

My first thought was maybe military (being in tandem and all). I then noticed a third light up ahead of the other two, forming a perfect triangle. All moving in unison, heading North. The three lights would pulse at the same moment.

At that point, I realized there was the vague outline of a mass connecting these three red lights. Then I watched as four or five other lights pulsed along the outer edge of the triangle, with more lights being on the western edge of the object. I could not detect any pattern to the flashing of these other lights. A couple of times all seven or eight were on at the same time.

I couldn't gage its altitude, but whether it was low or high, this thing was huge. If it was just up a few thousand feet, you could fit dozens of commercial jets within its base outline. If it was really high up -- well, it would be beyond massive. One of those sweeping, movie premiere-style spotlights swept under the object and didn't touch it, so it was at least higher than those things can project light.

I could detect no sound, the street I was on was quiet and I can normally hear aircraft (but I am still in a city). The sky was clear (recent rain has made it noticibly so). It seemed to glide across the sky and was just to my West, putting the object near the 405 highway. Was anyone else looking up then? Someone had to see this.
