Black triangluar craft seen near Mt. Laguna Air Force Station.

In a remote forest on the Pacific Coast Trail, about 500 yards south of Mt. Laguna Air Force Station, a black triangular craft was seen heading west towards Escondito, CA. The craft was so black that if it turned off it's blinking strobe lights, you could not have seen it in the night sky; just its outline. The craft had three red lights at each tip of the triangle. These red lights flashed independently of each other. A very deep low rumbling sound was associated with the sighting. The craft was flying very, very slowly, as if searching for something. I cannot give an estimate on the size, however I would say that it was larger than a normal airplane. The sky was 100 clear with no clouds and about 2 nights into the new moon. Also seen the next day in the area were 2 black helicopters with NO insignia or markings flying to a restricted military area north of where this sighting took place.
