Long slow moving straight line of lights that change color and shape that dim like a light bulb

Standing in the Wendy's parking lot looking westbound over the Chase Bank parking lot at approximately 6:45 p.m. on November 9th, I witnessed 19 lights in a straight line appear out of the dark sky slowly float eastbound. The line of lights slowly changed brightness like the dimming of a dining room light in different sequences and then in gradation from one end to the other in a repeated pattern. As the single line of lights traveled eastbound overhead and higher into the sky the 19 lights starting at the most northern point started to dim out of existence until the last light went dark. This display of lights occurred for approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
