Chevron shaped aircraft spoted over Albany California again

My wife and I were outside of our apartment complex in Albany, California looking for the constellation Leo. Although we did not find Leo we did see something more interesting. We saw a chevron shaped aircraft coming from the direction of Oakland heading slightly northwest. Since it was heading slightly nortwest I ran to the other side of the building to follow it but the craft then veered northeast. I went back but did not see it anymore. My wife stayed at the original location and noted that as the plane was moving away from us the lights appeared to get dimmer until she could no longer see it.

We could not see the body of the craft but it had dim lights in the pattern of a chevron with an "extension" on one side (Like this: ^- ). The craft appeared be larger than passenger jets that we always see flying over this area, but since we could not be sure of the altitude of the craft it was difficult to judge its size.

This appears to be the same type of aircraft my wife and I saw almost exactly a year ago flying over our apartment complex (May 7, 2002 at about 8:55PM). We also reported that sighting at this website. That time the aircraft was going from west to east.
