I was going from my house out to my garage, looking up at the stars to my southwest. i noticed a line of lights that were moving in a straight line. the lights were not flashing or blinking, each light was constant. there was airline traffic in the vicinity that had blinking lights and were not consistent like the lights i observed. each light was equal distant from each other and moving at the same, spaced equal distant from each other and traveling at the same rate of speed. as each light moved in what appeared to be an upward, slanted pattern the lights just disappeared after flying for from the southwest to the northeast for about 45 seconds.
