sequence more than 20 lights moving in formation directly over San Jose, CA lasting about 20 minutes
I'm a licensed private pilot and an amateur astronomer/skywatcher with more than 30 years of observing experience.
Around 8:15 pm PDT I witnessed a series of high altitude, non-flashing, non-colored lights passing in succession directly above my home. I called my son outside to observe the movement of the lights. We watched them move across the sky in a flowing sequence for more than 15 minutes.
The lights looked like satellites, but appeared to move somewhat faster than satellites. The lights were bright and steady. The lights moved from northwest to northeast passing directly overhead. All were moving in the same general direction (from my zenith to the northeast). Some of the lights were single and spaced with other identical lights following about 20 to 30 degrees behind. Some lights appeared in pairs (about 3 degrees apart), as if in formation flight.
