5 bright lights in a chevron pattern moving in a south easterly direction just before midnight, then stopped.

I noticed what I first thought was a star but it was moving in a south easterly direction towards me. At first I thought it might be the ISS as I've seen it before and this appeared to be at the same height. As I watched I noticed 2 more the same size and brightness flanking the middle one, slightly behind it. I expanded my gaze and noticed another 2 objects even farther out and behind the second set. 5 in total. They continued moving until they appeared to stop in their tracks. I know they were moving as I used a tree in the foreground as reference.

At the time there was air traffic coming into the airport from a south westerly direction.
