Unknown object @ 50,000 ft.+(?) spotted in Germany.

Walking out of my flat in downtown Ansbach, a city of about 50,000 in south Germany, I looked up and saw something with 3 - 4 white lights. The object itself seemed to ba also made of white light, but the lights at the edges were brighter. The shape was hard to discern, as it seemed very high, about an inch between my fingers, and it glowed with light. The more amazing part to me is that, I had been reading about contact before I left my flat, and I had requested to be able to see 'someone'. I first thought it to be a plane, but the lights did not seem correct. After seeing this thing, I watched it on and off overhead as I walked. Then I entered the building I was going to and felt satisfied that I had seen it, and walked in. I realize this may be explainable, and i would welcome opinions. Mir station? There is a US Army helicopter base in town, so I guess anything is possible. Although this thing gave me the impression that it was very far away. Almost as if it was in space.
