3 silver triangular objects over my house in 1995

I was upstairs in my house one afternoon. I was stood up, when, through the window, I saw something moving in the sky. It was about 500meters away. At first it seemed as if it was 1 object such as a large piece of plasic caught up in the wind. I could see that it was slowly moving in my direction. As it came closer it was obscured by a large tree in a neighbours garden. But a minute or 2 later it appeared from behind the tree and I could see that it was in fact 3 seperate objects moving together, but never touching each other. As they got nearer I could see that they were 3 silver triangular objects. They were flying/floating in a triangalur formation, and each was slowly turning. As they turned individually, they also turned together as a group at the same speed. They were a dull silver colour, and every so often lights would appear from the corners of the objects. The lights would come on quickly and then fade away. The light colours would change, sometimes blue, sometimes red, sometimes yellow. The 3 objects passed more or less directly over my house. At this point I was leaning out of the window looking up as they passed over the roof. As they vanished from view, I ran into the opposite room and looked out of the window. A second or 2 later I saw them re-appear over the brim of the roof. I watched them for another 10 or 15 minutes before they vanished from view. They always moved in a perfectly strait line and although they were close to each other they never touched. There was no sound, and all the time I was trying to think about getting a camera (but I had no film). My girlfriend hadn't arrived home from work (she thought I was quite mad when she returned). I never felt in danger, and just wanted someone to witness it with me. My heart was pounding, and I'll never forget it.
