black triangle over chopper and house in RI

I live upstairs in a two family house in westerly RI. I was doing some light cleaning around my house and reached under the sink for dusting supplies. At this point I heard a helicopter passing very low over my house. I knelt down in front of the window and looked up as an army type chopper was indeed in veiw, I watched for only a few second before a second object passed (east) above the helicopter. It inter my sight from a direction over my house and as crossed the path of the helicopter it switched direction (to north) and was lost behind a grouping of trees. The object as I was looking up and at an angle was an unmistakable triangle. It appeared black in color with a flashing light at the point facing the rear. It had other lights along the bottom and sides but they were not as bright. There was no sound apart from the noise of the chopper that I could detect.
