3 orbs in triangle shape passed over an airplane, headed NW across Minot, ND.

My wife and I were having dinner, and I decided to finish the night with a drink and a smoke. I went out side and looked at the stars to see meteor shower that were supposed to be visable tonight (last night 12Aug09 I saw 6 of them). I was laying down and noticed an airplane flying across the sky (to the point were the red and blue flashing lights were completely visable from the two side (wing) lights. Around 23:00 3 orbs traveling together like a triangle passed over the sky headed NW. The triangle of orbs passed over an airplane traveling the same speed and keeping the same distance. The orbs (each) were 3 times bigger than a commercial airline (like the wings and the under light mesh togeather) at high to maximum altitude. I rushed downstairs and told my wife and upstairs roomates what I saw. Not more than 5 minutes later we spotted a satilite traveling the same orbit that the 3 lights were headed the same direction.
