Slow moving black triangle 1000 ft high directly overhead

I had an up close and personal encounter with a UFO back in 1986 and pretty much kept it to myself over the years until the Pentagon confirmed those leaked videos were legit. It was then that I stopped feeling like a freak and started researching UFO/UAP. I wonder if you have much knowledge regarding the black triangles they call T3RB. The photos and videos I have seen over the last few years look very similar to what I saw only they all have either only one white light at each point of the triangle or the same but with a red light in the center. The lights on the one I saw were much different and I have never heard anyone else describe the same configuration as what I saw. The one I saw approached me coming off of Long Island Sound in Fairfield, CT and from a distance it looked like car headlights in the sky. As it got closer, I could then see two more big white lights. They weren't beams of light, just bright white round lights. The two facing forward were on either side of the front point of the triangle about a third of the way back. Then there was one facing down just behind the front point, and the fourth light was facing down at the rear of the triangle between the two points. It was no more that 1000 feet above me, moving extremely slowly and made a very slight sound that sounded like maybe what a stoked wood burning stove would sound like. It was a very clear night and I could see the perfect black solid triangle and it looked to be about the size of a commercial airliner, not the size of a football field as often reported. When it was directly above me and I finally processed that this was no aircraft of our making, as crazy as it sounds, the only thing that went through my mind was to hug the rear corner of my van and hope I wasn't seen and beamed up. After it passed over me, it flew about another 10 or 15 seconds then turned right and continued on it's way. When it turned, it didn't bank like a plane would, it kind of like rotated on it's axis and changed direction in such a smooth fashion. People think I am crazy when I tell this story but I will swear it is true until the day I die. So my big question to you is have you ever heard of one of these triangles with the light configuration I described? I have never seen or heard anyone else describe a triangle sighting with the lights like I saw them. I am 1000% positive of the configuration. I find it incredible for something like this to exist today let alone back in 1986. I would love to hear any feedback or questions you may have on this.
