Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Bright white lights in a bowed triangular shape moving from ESE to WNW towards Schenectady, NY

I was looking out my back window to watch my dog after letting her out in the morning when I spotted a bright light in the East-South-East sky. At first I thought it was a star. I looked away for a moment and when I looked back it had moved higher in the sky towards me.

Soon it got bigger and there was a triangular shape with four or five white lights on each side. They all blinked off twice and back on. The three sides were bowed outwards. It went over my house so I ran to the front of my house but it never reappeared. As it got lighter I noticed it was cloudy.
