Multiple objects in a straight line and constant heading

I saw what I thought was a satellite. I was looking at the night sky - direction 330 degrees and about 60-70 degrees elevation. Approximate height - impossible to say. Seeing one small light HDNG approx 055 degrees across the sky. That would indicate origin being USA/Mexico if they were travelling in a dead straight line.

Sky was clear (stars visible) with minimal light pollution its direction of travel.

I then noticed more "dots" following it. My father was with me and saw it all. We counted around 20 of these - all seemingly equally spaced. Spacing was impossible to tell (unable to establish height) but maybe 1-2 nautical miles.

There was no sound.

The strangest thing was, when they passed through around 320 degrees (travelling left to right) they just vanished. Like going behind a curtain. But stars were visible!!
