5 possible meteors traveling in single file

5 possible meteors, all traveling the exact same path, Orange in color,one after the other, travelling south to north.

The first two were in the. Sky at the same time,before the first was completely over the horizon, another appeared.

I was taking out the trash when I saw this begin, the neighbor saw it as well. I got my wife in time to see the last one.

They were soundless. At one point, an airplane at high altitude with its lights on passed underneath it, the object was at least twice the speed of the airplane.

Possibly a meteor, but never seen any that color, or ever seen multiple shooting stars ever travel the exact same path before.

Coincidentally, my son and his cousin walking to the movies saw at least 2 of them that night as well.
