Triangular flying vessel studded with green lights performing amazing maneuvers over Pacific Coast Hwy.

I work in Malibu Canyon. I was heading home towards Santa Monica on Pacific Coast Highway with fast traffic going both ways. It was around 19:30 and I had just passed the PCH Sunset Blvd. t-junction. Heading south on PCH you of course have the Santa Monica Mountains on the left, and the Pacific Ocean on the right. The sighting ocurred over the hills along PCH roughly between Temescal Canyon and Potrero Canyon. As I passed Temescal Canyon I looked to the left above the hills and saw an aircraft flying some incredible maneuvers turning at some amazing angles, going up, down, and back again. It was studded with 3 green lights more or less in a triangular formation. It was dark. Unfortunately, there was no place to stop in order to observe the aircraft for a longer period of time as traffic was busy and fast. I only observed it for about 30 seconds, but this craft was already there when I approached the area, and was still there when I passed it up. I wanted to turn around immediately to go back and watch it, but oncoming traffic hindered me. At Chautaqua Blvd. I was able to finally turn around, but when I passed through the same area again, the aircraft was gone. To me it seemed that it was surveying something. The craft looks like the triangular (sort of boomerang like) spaceship depicted on this website.
