Bright white lights form pyramid in the sky, which then changed into a straight line of lights whose trails connected them together.

I was driving back from school where I attend at ITT Tech North Charlotte campus. I was driving down I-485 inner southbound towards exit 13 which led to the I-85 southbound ramp when I had caught sight of a strange pattern of bright lights behind the tree line. It looked like a mountain was lit up with stadium lights, triangular in shape but very very bright.

I tried my best to catch a better glimpse of it and when I did catch a better glimpse the object in question had changed from a triangle pyramid like structure to a straight line in the sky. I stared at this in awe for a moment, tried to make sense of it. I almost missed my exit from staring for so long.

Just as i was turning each light appeared to leave a long trail behind it connecting to the next as if they were all moving in unison. When I had merged onto I-85 southbound the structure was now behind me and I could no longer see it however I obsessed over the thought of it on the rest of the way home, and filed this report immediately.

I had thought that they may have been planes but I had also seen a plane on my car ride home and the two were not similar at all.
