Large triangular craft with red corner lights

My wife and I were walking down Main St in Reedville, VA when I noticed three solid red lights forming a triangle in the sky to the east of us. It was past sundown and the moon had not come out yet so the sky was very dark. When I focused in on it I could see that the area between the 3 red lights was darker than the rest of the sky, indicating that they were on the three corners of one object. My wife noticed the same. It was moving northward and as it moved it seemed to rotate on its axis parallel to the ground. The three lights started as a perfect triangle then moved into a straighter line and as they did the darker area between them continued to fill only the area they created. I cannot say how far away or how big it was, but it appeared it was massive. It covered an area larger than a really full moon would in the sky. We did not hear any noise associated with it. It was moving quickly at first but slowed down to almost a stop at one point then sped back up. After around a minute of following it with my eyes two jets came towards it at a high rate of speed. I knew they were jets because I could hear them very clearly and we get a lot of A-10 jets flying overhead here. Based on how loud they were I would say they were pretty low. Maybe 1000-2000 feet. As they approached the triangle continued to move and was obscured by some really tall pines so I ran further down the street past the trees, but when I got to the other side of the trees the triangle was no where to be seen, but the jets continued on their respective paths. That’s all.
