Silent large flying v of 5 orange glowing patches gives fright.

At Between 5:30am and 5:35am i was delivering papers while walking through a local trailer court. I stopped to look up at the Orion constelation and find a star that usually appears to be flashing red, white and blue this time of year just bellow and north of it...I dont know why i do that... it is just is interesting to me. This time I saw something that has permanently changed my mind about all the UFO stories. Just the south of me i noticed a VERY faint pumpkin orange glow and thought i was going to get to see a meteor start up as i turned my head slightly i realized that there were 5 very square shaped glowing patches in a v shape heading north slightly south and east of were i was standing. I intently tried to focus my sight on this and realized that as they were moving the stars behind were blocked out in a very black v area behind them and that the faint orange squares were more rectangular and bent over the leading edge of a wing like structure...try as i might i could not get any other visual ques as to the exact shape of what was going by right in front of me. I was trying to get an idea of the trailing shape but could not because as the stars would reapear behind it they seemed distorted, like in a mirage, by wave like disruption of the star light. I stood there fixed in total disbeleif of what i was seeing! As it passed almost over me and in front of me it made NO SOUND what so ever! I would guess that it was was about half again bigger than a stealth bomber(which i have seen flying over head at the Air Force Academy graduation twice, only about 40miles from here) and about 1500 feet off the ground, I had the impression for a second that it was a stealth bommber gliding but it was a little too big and there is no where close in that direction for it to glide to. as it passed to my left the orange glowing patches became almost impossible to see on the bottom edge of it and became smaller as though they were on the front edge of a wing but still absolutely no sound! I couldnt keep an eye on ! it after a few more seconds since there were no more visable stars in that area to see it blocking them. I stood there for 5 to 10 minutes looking all over trying to see if it would come back, but it never did. I would guess that it was traveling about 2 to 3 times faster than the C130s we have fly over us all the time and was about twice the wing span. I couldnt tell any thing beyond that it looked generaly like a flying wing since there was nothing but the 5 orange patches and the blacked out shape behind them. The orange patches were extremely faint, less bright than the stars of Orions belt, as if they were reflectors instead of lights, but i cant figgure out what they could have reflected since it is still pretty dark at 5:30am. I would love to know what it realy was if anyone knows. I would guess it was putting out a lot of heat to make the stars seem wavy but how does it do it with absolutely no noise? If thisv is government or visitor??? I would be quicker to beleive a government secret but I may never know for sure. If any-one does know please tell me mysteries drive me nuts!
