8-10 orange fireball-like lights in the western California sky shortly after midnight.

While outside in our backyard, I saw several (8-10) orange fireball-like lights in the sky. They were in a disorganized line flying from the northwest to the southeast. They would appear from the northwest, slowly fly southeast, and then disappear when they reached a certain point in the sky. I've seen starlink, and this was completely different. One of the lights close to the end of the row of lights seemed to slightly speed up in comparison to the others as it made its way southeast with the group. After the lights disappeared, they didn't reappear again.
