Observed unexplained object(s) in the sky near Raleigh, NC

What began as an my observing an unbelievably bright "Venus" soon gave way to my thinking that the object was possibly a jetliner w/ landing lights traveling toward my location. I was driving at the time and could not discern movement until after observing for about ten minutes.

My route was on winding country roads, so as I constantly changed direction, the light stayed consistent. I began to suspect this wasn't a jetliner.

Oddly, as I drove I saw two jetliners on approach to RDU to the west of my location (about 30 miles away), and could see their flashing beacon lights. The object I was observing did not have flashing beacon lights. The object I had been observing seemed to be about the same altitude but farther west of the jetliners on approach, and the object shown much brighter than the jetliners.

I lost sight of the object as my view was blocked by trees. When the tree line ended to my surprise I saw three idenical objects in a razor sharp straight line appearing to head north beyond the RDU approach the jetliners had taken. Military? Satellite?
