Saw three triangular craft that appeared to be followed by 10-20 smaller lights.

My girlfriend and I were out taking long exposure shots on the road about halfway to the old Star Mine in Burke, outside of Wallace, ID. We were positioned facing south 30 or so feet away from the road and a small stream. The road ran generally north to south. There were tree covered mountains on either side of the valley we were in. While were taking some longer photos, and chatting, I saw a bright light over my shoulder.

I turned to see a row of three triangular crafts coming over the mountains to the east. The silhouettes appeared to be large triangles with rounded corners. They had bright white lights on each corner. In addition to the three triangles, there were somewhere between 10-20 smaller red lights following them. A few behind the first two, and then the bulk of them following the third. There was absolutely no sound that accompanied any of them. We frantically tried to take pictures, but my girlfriend's camera died just before (it would be easy to fantasize that the crafts did this, but I doubt it), and mine was in the middle of rendering one of our long exposures. Before I could get my phone out of my pocket, they had already gone behind the western mountains on the other side of the road.
