Looking West 75 41 23 44 An extremely long perfect line of lights. Very slowly moving, constant white. moving north.

I was connecting the battery to my grandson's gator when I looked up and saw what I first thought to be an incoming meteor. After realizing it wasn't typical I ran inside and grabbed my camera. I tried to get a video but only got a very poor photograph. The lights were only one color, white, they moved in a very perfect line on a North / East direction. At my location I see and hear the fighter jets from Patuxent three times a day, this there was no noise. I could not get an accurate count as there were so many, the slow speed is what really surprised me and that it didn't break up like one would expect from a meteor. I have no idea what I just saw! It did not seem to be a trail but a long "stick" of lights.
