Three ‘dull-like stars moving slowly to form a triangle, then 22 more appeared.

Our 14 yo boy spotted the 3 starlike dull stars moving slowly between the Big Dipper and the “W” in the sky. He pointed them out to the three adults and we watched them for several minutes as they formed a triangle. After that, I (g’mother), saw another coming in from the area of the Big Dipper. Then the 14 yo yelled, “another!” There was a ‘lighter’ area of the darkness of the sky, not actually a shape, just a somewhat lighter spot where it looked like the objects were coming from. There were 3 adults, 4 teens and 2 children who watched 11 objects come from the ‘dull’ spot. 15 objects in all as they formed a straight line and headed past the ‘W.’ I have looked at all the photos of ‘Starlink,’ and these were none of them.
