Outside having smoke - can hear jet engines approaching from the west. Very unusual in my part of Kansas, usually they are to high to be heard

Anyway blow me down a triangle set of lights fly over - Just like those claimed to be flying out of area 51. four rows of lights in a 2 3 4 5 pattern.

The plane flies past and all I can see is the standard white navigation light blinking as it continued east. So the lights had to be pointing at some angle forward

Now thats got me real curious

LOL whatever the craft was, it was definately terrestrial. Or aliens use exactly the same jet engine technology we do

Or they have a cloaking device that makes their pulse ion engines sound like our jet engines! Seriously how was the anal probe?

Smoking damages the eyes. :)
OTOH, some advertiser might be filming a commercial.
Couple airbases and McDonnell aircraft in your area.
Boeing has (had?) a site in Kansas.
"Battle of Wichita"....
 
I just went out to look at a Beechjet 400 out in our hangar, and it has a recognition light high up on the vertical stabilizer (the tail that sticks up vertically). It also has a set of landing lights that pops out below the fuselage, and of course it has strobes and other lights on the wingtips.

If you looked at a BE400 head on when it was in a certain configuration, the lights DO form a triangle. I'm not saying what you saw was that, but I'm sure other aircraft out there have lights in places the ground spectator might not think of, forming some weird geometric patterns as they fly overhead.
 
The 2,3,4,5 configuration is unique.
Can't think of a reason other than some commercial for that.
ASW aircraft used to have a single very bright light on a wing, to illuminate things on the surface of the ocean, but no more.
DHS might be playing with those for border surveillance.

I have seen the lights you are talking about on an old P3 Orion. These were substantially dimmer

How confident are you that all the lights were on one aircraft?

About as confident as I can be given the lighting conditions. It sounded like one aircraft. Based on the closeness of the lights, for multiple aircraft to be in use, they would had to been so high I could not hear them

I Rant has made an interesting observation. When I heard the plane it had a sound very similar to a Lear Jet or small fighter. The Beechjet definately fits that catagory
