Square UFO seen by passenger of commercial plane

I was on a commercial aircraft on my way to Germany. I had a window seat and was very excited about my first overseas trip. We were approaching Ireland at 33,000 feet, -81 degrees F and going over 600MPH, when I saw what I took to be the northern lights. I was thrilled and watched the lights for at least 45 minutes. They looked like 2 vertical parallel streamers. Sometimes rippling, waving, coiling, and sometimes looking like a shaken carpet rolling from one end to the other. The 2 streamers remained distinct; they never merged. They looked like clean straight sheets, which never quite touched. They were NOT FUZZY or PUFFY in any way, and were almost colorless.

After about 40 minutes or so I noticed the lights got almost firey and looked almost orange. I looked through the window ahead of mine and saw that the lights ended at perfectly square black object! This object had a light in each corner; 3 white and one blue. So much for the northern lights! The lights faced me-it flew in the same direction as the plane, like a square book propped up on its spine, the title page facing me (with the lights in each corner). Our speeds were so evenly matched it took almost 10 minutes for the plane to pass the craft.

After we landed, I asked a pilot if what I saw were the northern lights. He said we 2 planes were flying parallel with our plane (who mentioned planes?). As I turned to go he said it was actually a UFO but he hadn't wanted to alarm me. What a character.

After my return home, my son showed me a square UFO on the internet-a perfect match.
