semi-vee to boomerang shaped object forward edge,lit by a dozen dim white lights.two lights on rear.no sound very low altitude.

It was a hazey chilly Oct. night.I was checking out an electrical connection box,that was smoking (water had entered the box,shorting out the wire connections)the box is used to connect the street lights in that section I was in.As I looked up to check on the street light,I saw approx. a dozen dim white lights approaching me from lake Erie which was north of my location.They were about 350 ft. up..I thought an airplane was about to crash..The lights were in a boomerang configeration traveling approx. 15-20 mph. as they passed directly over my head,there was absolutly no sound. THERE WERE TWO BRIGHTER LIGHTS on the rear of the object as it passed over me. It seemed to be losing altitude as it passed by. This object passed over a 3 story building,which it seemed to clear by about 75 ft. I observed the fog swirling as it went by.I'am a maintenance electrician. I estimate the object to be about 150 to 200ft across.I radioed our campus police dept. to report what I saw..I was laughed at....
