NUFORC Sighting 129250

Occurred: 2016-08-13 04:00 Local
Reported: 2016-08-13 21:01 Pacific
Duration: ~5 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Fort Collins, CO, USA

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object

I was watching the meteor shower from a field at the end of the road. About 4AM, an object flew overhead which had 5 lights in a V formation. It made no sound I could detect. It flew horizontal SE, then a quick turn nearly vertical and returned horizontal continuing in the SE direction.

I could not make out a body, only the lights but where the body should have been it seemed to refract (is that the right word?) light. The stars behind the object shifted a bit as if they were placed under water and then once it had passed returned to where they were.

I have no evidence of anything, my phone was dead, and even if it weren't, the whole thing happened in a matter of seconds.
