The report, as filed

I was driving home when I saw three bright lights in the distance, sort of just sitting there. I pulled over by a small clearing so I could watch them and see what happened. The three lights then got closer to me and I assumed maybe it was a set of drones because of how quiet they were. They ended up flying right over me almost in formation, but they were still silent. I could then see that they were some sort of aircraft and a boomerang or triangular shape with lights on them, they seemed brighter in the distance. I filmed them and sent them out on snapchat to a few people, but because of my excitement I only saved two of the multiple videos. They then flew away as quickly as they came, and as silently as they came.

Brentwood, CA

I supplied my very simplistic 'art' and a map to describe what I saw and best guess at the pathing. In one image you see a blue stick figure being 'my location' during naked eye observation. I'm not entirely concerned of this sighting for I'm still alive. I thought they were nukes so I said my prayers. Nothing happened, they just passed. The sighting is approximately 7 (can be 6-9?) yellow-orange comet like objects moving. They moved slower than a super sonic missile, faster than a plane, and didn't have the color of a normal (white bright) shooting star. They looked like they were either missiles or asteriods? burning up in the atmosphere. The tail didn't stretch, but then again it's night. I'm reporting this mostly for the sake of national security.
