Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Six flashing red and white lights in triangular shape flying southbound seen from ground by pilot /former ATC

While waiting to watch meteors from last night's meteor shower I noticed an object flying southbound exhibiting a triangular shape display of six blinking red then white lights. Each color remained for a second before changing. the white looked like the color of a white LED the red was similar to a red LED. The object moved at a constant speed and direction. the speed appeared to be similar to that of a high-flying jet. the Object disappeared behind a cloud over Portland before I could get my camera. Being a former air traffic controller and pilot for 50 years, I feel this was not a typical aircraft. a check of PWM tower and Boston ARTCC have no aircraft being tracked at that time in the area.
