My neighbor and I were sitting on our patios and talking. I saw him looking above my shoulder, turned around and saw a triangular shaped craft with 5 lights protruding out from it. From where we were, it appeared to be headlights, and the craft moved in the direction the lights were shining. The middle beam appeared to be the longest, with the rest down each side stair stepping down the body of the craft. It moved from one area to another and disappeared into the clouds. About 30 seconds after it disappeared, we saw a plane in the opposite direction, and could hear it and see the flashing lights. The triangular craft made no noise.
