15-20 round balls of light moving in formation

We first thought it was a long string of balloons that had taken flight. We stopped the car and the 4 of us got out of the car and watched in the darkness. We took about 20 pictures but none came out. The objects at first seemed to be attached to each other round and bright white.They began floating along like balloons in the wind. Then they started moving against the wind toward the Sierra Nevada changing their formation ,elevation and gaining speed. They formed a line and then a square then a line again. It took off behind some clouds then came back out. We watched for about 10 minutes and none of us could really come up with an explanation of what it was.
