While driving I saw two triangle humongous craft with lights under them two on the back and one in front. The crafts behind each other hovering above slow. I felt like stopping to record but kept going it was very strange! When I first spotted them, I thought maybe military but as I got closer it was too big to be military. The shape of the crafts were not from here! I wish I had stop and record I couldn't believe it! Beautiful crafts can someone find out if any military flying during last night. It wasn't like any craft I've ever seen.

Flying slow and low to the ground - at first appeared to be 2 glowing stars. Abnormally large and upon getting closer proved these lights were on the end or a large round aircraft of the likes I’ve never seen. Large enough to be mid plane size, not a drone. From underneath due to lighting the shape was illuminated with a few colored lights at the bottom. The engine was quite loud and had not others including my child seen in, I would have believed I was hallucinating.
