V-formation of lights travelling over suburban street

My son and I were closing our garden gate late at night. Suddenly, over the tops of the trees we both saw a V formation of 5 lights swoop in the sky. It strongly resembled the size and formation and height in the sky of Canada geese. Each of the five objects seemed to be a single glowing white-yellow light. There weren't any rays of light. The formation moved quickly and silently. The v-formation moved in tandem like a ribbon undulating across the sky. It followed the direction of the road. It disappeared over the tree tops at the end of the street. It was too fast for birds. It was too dark to see birds. It was too late at night for birds to be flying in this manner.
