View a Chevron shaped object

Went into back yard and was looking for birds that I could hear flying overhead in the sky at the time and sighted a Chevron shaped craft with lights on both sides. The sun was down and just before the stars really shine bright, the lights on the object were very dim (like the background stars) and were moving from the south to the north (pretty close to north to south). There was no sound, you would really have to strain to see it as I was trying to see the birds and the lights were very dim. Looking up at the object it looked like it was at a fairly high altitude but was fairly big. If it was high in the sky then it was really huge and if it was low then it was small or like any other plan airline (747) and did not make any noise at all. If memory serves me (40 minutes ago) there was about 3 lights on each side when I viewed it. I have seen planes in the sky before and have not found that there are that many lights on the wings and the wings were not set at the same angle that I viewed this time. I only hope someone else has seen it too.
