V shape light formation materialized and zoomed off to north at incredible speed, Portland OR

Was camping. Looking at the stars directly overhead, I was thinking how people could easily hallucinate or think they saw a ufo becasue of tricks the stars play on my eyes from city lights. Several minutes later, a shape materialized, it looked like lights floating to the surface of a body of black translucent liquid. It took about a half second to come to full brightness, and was a V shape light formation with a leading light at the apex, 4 lights down one leg and 3 down the other. The lights were of the magnitude of a very bright star but a little yellower. As soon as it came to full brightness, it zoomed off to the north with absolutely no acceleration-instantly coming to full speed. It was about the size of two full moons in length, one in width, and I only saw it travel an arc-second or two before view was obscured. Absolutely no sound, makes me think it was either insubstantial in mass or above the atmosphere. Cell phone not affected, listening to podc! ast as it happened, texted immediately after.Very clear night, no clouds, moon not in sky, city lights obscure all but top mag stars. Not a plane, firework, satellite, meteorite, star, planet, bird(s), laser toy, or anything else I can think of to explain.
