Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

dozens of lights move slowly in unison, then ascend

It was directly above me in my front yard, I opened our front door to tell my wife, "Hey come out. I think I'm seeing a UFO." What had appeared was a grouping of lights that gradually became longer and more numerous. It was in the shape of a whale or fish. It was difficult to ascertain whether it was one large shape with dozens of lights, or dozens of separate objects flying together. When my wife came out, I began to try to get video with my phone,(which came out blank with only audio)

We live in a heavily wooded area, and we watched as the object(s) passed slowly overhead and were then obscured from our vision by trees. I jumped on my bicycle and rode a short distance to where the trees clear, and tried to get more video. The cluster of lights had continued to move slowly and ascend in altitude until, if it had been motionless, would look like a fuzzy galaxy or other "normal" object, eventually disappearing altogether.
