Appx 9:15 pm saw object moving from wsw 5 or so degrees below constellation pleiades toward nnw 40 degrees or so above the horizon. object appeared to be as bright as a medium- bright star, object faded from view at about 85 degrees above horizon, or almost overhead. saw a second object moving in same direction on same path as the first about 10 seconds later. 2nd object flew at same path and faded out at the same time as the first. began looking at the position in the sky below pleiades for any more objects and saw another. this time noticed object initially was dim but grew in brightness between 45 to 70 degrees above horizon before fading out at 85 degrees above horizon. after seeing the third object, this same pattern repeated itself at least 8 to 10 times, as if in a series. there were at least 10 to 15 times when an object appeared from the same area, flew in the same direction, then faded out. speculation: this was probably a series of satellites launched into a specific orbit and placed at certain intervals between them in order to perform the function which they were intended. personal: i've never seen a series of objects appear one after the other flyinging the same path at specific intervals before.
