Series of lights (not a group, but travalling the same path) moving West to East

t walking the dog with my daughter at about 8 PM when we noticed a light moving across the sky. It came into vision on the west horizon at approximately the cross at Mt Lindo (the big white cross lights on the mountains) from our location. It moved up into the sky, moving southwest to northeast in a trajectory between the cross and whatever planet was bright and about 30° above the horizon at the time. It wasn't as bright as the planet and had a similar appearance to a satellite in the atmosphere. It caught our attention because it moved much faster than a satellite or an airplane, was either far to small or high to be an airplane, and it made no noise. When we lost site of the first light, qe noticed another emerging on the horizon from the same place, on the same path. When we lost site or the second, a third appeared. Came up from the same place, on the same path. Scattered thin clouds moving through at the time began to make it more difficult to continually track the lights, but over the course of about an hour we watched as many as nine lights. During the same time, planes traveled through and were easily distinguishable from these lights. The only thing I could compare what we witnessed to would be missiles or rockets. I've lived in this area for a very long time and am quite familiar with how air traffic moves through our airspace, at high altitudes and lower elevations. Aircraft in this area NEVER follow the same flight path so closely with the exception of either taking off or landing.
