When camping on the Trinity River near Lewiston California, We saw an unusual flying formation of lights. Any ideas what they were?

"I saw three 'satellites' at 70 degrees elevation traveling from the north west to east-south-east. Near the north, they were joined by a 4th satellite and formed a rectangle about 10 degrees big"

This was from a retired Pan American Flight Engineer.

It sounds rather curious, but my first reaction is that it might have been high flying military jets. This could not be confirmed without a detailed flight log of overflights by military aircraft. I note, however, that one of my readers in New England reported seeing a triangular object flying in the sky with colored lights. It was only after watching the local news that she discovered it was a military aircraft visiting the area as a training exercise.
