self-illuminated triangle-shaped craft flying in "v" formation

I was sittting in my backyard smoking a cigarette meanwhile looking up to the north star. I then became aware of 5 self-illuminated triangular (maybe diamond-shaped) craft flying in a "V" formation to the east of the north star. There was a sixth craft of the same shape and size flying outside the formation but moving at the same speed and direction. This sixth craft seemed to be leading the others as it moved its position relative to the others occasionally (maybe to signal a change in course). The formation of crafts were traveling west and moved quite rapidly. Although I heard no sound the crafts were fairly high in the sky. The color of the illumination was transluscent yellow-orange.
