Large armada of white lights moving slow and silent across the sky.Our dogs were very unsettled, so we took them outside at about 8:30 PM EST. I saw a very bright large light coming from the east northeast moving south southwest. I suddenly noticed it was being followed by a multitude of smaller lights. It looked like the stars where moving. we noticed three different columns of lights flying slightly behind and to either side. There were so many we lost count more than forty. There were regular aircraft flying lower they seemed to be commercial aircraft. We felt like it was an invasion. They were just white lights of different sizes flying in formations at a very high altitude. They did not make any sound they were much slower than the commercial aircraft.
