20-30 lights moving in a straight line over Westerville, Ohio

Approximately 5:50 a.m. I saw a string of lights moving in a straight line to the northeast over Westerville, Ohio, not far from Johnstown. My first sighting was a pair of lights in close formation moving at a pace consistent with a high-flying aircraft. The lights were white and steady. A third light appeared approximately 5-10 degrees behind the initial pair, moving at the same rate and in the same direction. For the next ten minutes, lights appeared in the same spot in the sky, at a point midway between the Big Dipper and the pole star. Most of the lights were in the same straight line, evenly spaced, but occasionally another pair would appear instead of a single light. This continued for a total of 5 to 10 minutes, ending shortly before 6 a.m. I didn't count the lights, but there were at least 20 and perhaps as many as 30. At the same time I saw other aircraft in the sky, in different locations, all blinking lights, from which I heard engine sound, but t! he string of lights moving to the northeast were silent.
