4 or 5 white lights that flew in front of the 737 I was passenger in.

The incident happened last year while in a 737 on my way home from Georgia to Maryland. It was maybe 7:00 PM and dark outside. I had a window seat and my work coheart was seating next to me. We where watching out the window as we would fly over smaller planes, (don't fly to often looked neat) when coming up from behind us, 4 or 5 bright white lights flying in a row but not equally spaced, at our altitude and moving extremely fast came up on us on a diagnal, and flew directly in front of the plane. It seemed to have shaken the pilots because our landing was extremely rough considering it was a very calm evening.
