A V-shaped formation of triangles moving across the sky

My girlfriend and I were out looking at the lunar eclipse when a wedge shaped formation of triangular shaped objects passed between us and the moon. They appeared to be fairly close to the ground, they were moving without sound, and they reflected light from the street. Our first thought was that we were seeing a flight of geese, but then we noticed that the objects were reflecting light. My girlfriend thought they may have been fireworks, but there was no concussion, streams of light, arc of trajectory, or anything else that would indicate a typical firework pattern. The wedge formation moved away from our line of sight rather quickly and disappeared towards the eastern part of the city without a sound.
