There were upwards of 40 star-like objects appearing to the west of the north star and fading out to the east of the north star within one minute. i noticed this at 8:00pm, and it continued until approximately 8:20pm. it was in the northern sky from my view 5 miles east of the center of the city of pittsburgh. the objects moved slowly, in a straight line, and equidistant apart. we often see airplanes, helicopters and drones. these were not any of those. they were too high in elevation and did not have flashing faa lights. i was only able to take a dim photo, but if you zoom in, it's a bit more clear.
