Two separate people two separate locations

Observer 1 saw one large white lighted object first while driving home at night. Called second observer at home to have them go outside and look as well. Observer 2 while at home turned all lights off, went outside saw a plane in the sky. They continued to look for another object and then saw a very large long white lighted rectangular object in the sky while on the phone with observer 1 who was also seeing the same thing. Note both observers were about 3 mi apart from each other. The object was North, slightly NW.
The lights appeared to be very tall and parallel to each other and they seemed to run the entire length of the object.
While continuing to look at the object in the sky, observer 2 at home proceeded to take a picture with their cell phone and then a zoomed in picture with their cell phone. Observer 2 then moved the phone settings to video and the object disappeared. Observer 1 approximately 3 miles away also noted the object could no longer be seen in the sky at that time. Observer 1 saw the object for approximately a few minutes. The object did not appear to be moving. There were two commercial airplanes in the sky within sight during this time of the unidentified object sighting.
Observer 1 is a mechanic and was in the army for ten years. Observer 2 is in management at a pharmaceutical development company.
