V-shaped Craft over Philadelphia PA

March 3, 2025 ~11:45 pm

It was a perfectly clear night and I could see with the constellations (Orion, Dippers, Gemini, Cassiopeia, etc), and planets (Jupiter and Mars) by eye.
The moon was not visible from my perspective (believe it was near the horizon). There where numerous conventional aircraft in the sky (> 3).

While walking my dog in the backyard, I observed a V-shaped craft flying to the west in a straight line and in complete silence. It was black in color, had 3 dim lights on each wing and the point of the V was the nose. I first noticed the vehicle when it was directly above me and I tracked its movement across the sky till it went out of view. (Unfortunately, some trees blocked my view as it moved away). The speed of the craft was fast enough to limit my view time to a few seconds, so relatively quick. I estimate that it was flying at a low altitude (the height that a helicopter or small plane might fly). Also of note, due to its dark color and noiselessness, it was difficult to observe, as if it were a camouflaged glider or giant bat.
