Long group of objects that looked like stars but in our atmosphere. Disappeared quickly and seen black object shooting up.

There was like 11 individual stars from when i noticed it. Looked like a bunch of stars but they were in a straight line in groups of 3s. It was a long line spaced apart, i would imagine several miles in distance from the first to the last one. They were bright like stars but appeared low as if they were floating in the sky. It was much higher then a tall voltage line but lower then an airplane. An aircraft flew in between 2 of the points and you could tell the airplane was higher in elevation. After the plane went by then the objects started disappearing 1 by 1. Then I saw a black image shoot straight up between where the lights were, like a shooting star with no lights but going up. Then when they all disappeared, a moment later there was a white flash in the spot where the line was.
