Chesterfield, MI

I walked out on my back porch to smoke and looked up and saw 5 what I thought were stars, until 3 of them started moving. They were a perfect triangle moving from south to north following Gratiot avenue and crossing 23 mile road in Chesterfield Michigan. At first, I was stunned. I finally yelled to my wife to come downstairs from our bedroom. When she was coming down she slipped and I ran in to help her. When we got outside the shape was gone. This took place in all about 20-25 seconds. We stood outside for a moment when my wife asked me if it "looked like that?" She pointed up and there was a bright light very high fade in and out. It was to fast to be a satellite and to high for an airplane. Then there was another. All were going in the same direction, north to south. I have never seen anything like this before in my life and it made all the hair on my body stand up on end.
