I believe I recall seeing stars between the lights, i.e. that there was not a singular structure blocking stars out, but I can't be sure.
Keep looking up and keep reporting.

Then why mention it. Just one possibility. When aircraft enter certain designated airspace they have lights they turn on, and turn off when they leave. You may have seen one leaving airspace around an airport that turned off its landing lights.
The triangle of lights makes it harder to rule out terrestrial craft.
My only other point about landing lights is that there were originally three lights, then two got really bright and a few seconds later all three turned off completely. I don't know why a plane would do that 47 miles out or anywhere else. I know that doesn't mean "therefore aliens" but it's a point that should be considered.
It's very interesting that you've seen something. I'd love to hear about it. If you wrote about it here could you link to the thread?

Here are two things I've never seen satellites do:
1. Travel in groups of three in fixed positions with respect to each other (I'm aware of one mapping project involving two tandem satellites, not aware of three but maybe someone can help me out with that).

I think we have a winner! Yaogan 9A-C passed over Monhegan, highest at 10:28 PM and heading in the direction I saw. I'd be lying if I said I don't feel a bit silly, but I've never seen any get so bright and then disappear completely, let alone a whole group of them. thank you tommyjo!
