A similar thing happened to me a few weeks ago, I was so freaked out by it that I downloaded and paid for an app that showed satellite positions. Turns out...my rational side was right, it was indeed a satellite in low orbit, giving it the appearance of a fast speed and a very bright disposition. It was still a weird experience. There were two satellite actually.

As for what this was? Honestly it sounds like people may have seen an air force drill of some military (possibly Russian or US.)

Here's a good one that I think a lot of the 2 or 3 (Triangle) ufo sightings come from.

The NOSS satellites commonly can be seen in a double or triple configuration.

Here is an example image https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7XAxIsInxSM/maxresdefault.jpg

China also launched triple satellite configurations into an almost identical orbit.
