Silent boomerang object seen in sky over Eagn MN

Object appeared from the southeast travelling northwest. Because of surrounding trees, about 120 degrees of shy was visible overhead. It was a cloudless night.

The object was boomerang shaped or possibly trianglular. A series of dull lights, remimded me of amber bicycle reflectors, between five to seven of them, were arranged in a chevron pattern along the leading edge. I am unsure if the object was boomerang shaped or triangular since the lights were an a chevron pattern and the training edge of the object was not clearly visible.

The motion of the object caught my attention since it was balck but a bit more matte and light than the backgound sky, like a silhoutte. I initially thought from the size that I was seeing the silhouette of an eagle flying glow overhead when I first caught sight of the object from the corner of my vision, but as soon as I turned my attention to the object, I saw the lights and details. It clearly occluded the stars in the sky.

I cannot estimate the object, but it was about the same size as a bald eagle flying about 50 feet overhead. The object made no sound. It traversed the arc of the sky visible to me in about 8 seconds (about 120 degrees). The speed and direction of the object appeared constant during the time I observed it. The lights did not flash or otherwise change shape, posiiton of color.

As I lost sight of it in the trees, I moved to a clear area which toook about 5 seconds. I was unable to locate the object in the sky again.
