Dark object in the shape of a (4) after dusk in West Seattle

I was in my backyard smoking after my kids went to bed. It was about 1/2 an hour after sundown. I was looking to the North and saw something coming south from the north. As it got closer I was able to see what looked like several round globes, white in color, in the shape of a four (4) with the top of the 4 the front and the leg of the 4 at the back. Each globe was approximately 1-2 feet in diameter and spaced about 10 feet apart. It took around 15 globes to make the shape. I only saw the globes because of the lights from the street and houses reflecting off of them. They were obviously attached to the structure of the object as I could the stars blotted out as it passed directly overhead. The "4" shape was only about 100 feet overhead or the light from the street and houses would not have illuminated the globes; the top half of the globes were part of the structure. It was a dark object and emitted no light. It flew in a perfectly straight line following the ridge where the South Seattle Community College is located. It made no sound whatsoever.
