Saw triangle shaped object traveling North to South, directly overhead.

Walking out to car facing west to southwest, approximately 7:45pm. Looked up for satellites and noticed an equilateral triangle shaped object traveling south maybe 90 degrees overhead, completely silent, flying point forward facing south. Only saw the craft from the bottom, as it continued south and seemed to disappear at about 60 degrees elevation, before it reached the horizon of my viewpoint.

It had 4 reflections or lights, colored white and all equal brightness and size, at all 3 points of the triangle, with one light in the middle of the left long side of the triangle ( the side facing east). The color of the inner triangle seemed dark grey/black, but I could tell it was solid and couldn't see stars through it. The edges were lighter, with a darker inner triangle and an outer lighter grey triangular outline. The lights were in the lighter grey area.

Seemed to be about 30ish feet on each side, but hard to determine. Seemed to be quite close, about 200ft above me in elevation. Was completely silent, which was one of the features that caught my attention the most and made me stop and think it wasn't a plane or drone. We have had drones fly over this parking lot before and we could hear them and see their flashing lights.

Don't know how fast it was moving but it didn't seem to be too fast, although it went from about 90 degrees overhead to 60 degrees in about 5 seconds.
