V-shaped w/ 5 amber colored lights on the bottom

While hiking in the ponderosa pine forest south of Flagstaff, my friend (a geologist) and myself were hiking and became lost shortly after dark. We decided to head due east, knowing we'd eventually hit I-17. I looked up and was startled to see a v-shaped thing in the sky with 5 amber colored lights that really stood out in contrast to the brilliant white stars on that pitch black night.It was either incredibly enormous, or really low. It was almost stationary, and made absolutely no noise. My friend took off running, and was sobbing in fear. He made me swear to never tell his colleagues of this, or to ever bring the matter up in his presence.
