Un-lit, silent V shaped object seen and illuminated from the ground

At 8:53 PM, on Thursday night, I was working gate security at a location in Carlsbad, CA. I was observing some clouds moving in from the coast, to the west of my location. I then noticed a V shaped object, or objects, which at first I thought might be a flock of birds, due to being un-lit, silent and right at the edge of visual perception.

The object was to my west at about 30 degrees elevation. I grabbed a flashlight I carry and shined it at the object. This flashlight is special new type that uses a laser to excite the phosphor, and produces an extremely narrow, laser like white beam, that goes for over a mile. When the beam hit the craft on the right side “wing”, I could then tell it was one solid, grey colored, un-lit object. The vehicle did not respond to the light and was gone a second or two later. The object was pointed toward the I-5 freeway, and the ocean, when I lost site of it.

I had seen another triangular shaped object fly over us, much lower and closer, on 10-31. I'm starting to think this area is some type of "Hot spot" for unknown reasons. This area is a busy aircraft corridor and within about a mile of an airport. The object would be right in the departure path.

We are taking additional measures such as the use of recorded low light and thermal cameras which cover this area of the sky above our buildings.
