Several objects that appeared to travel together

The neighbor texted my spouse and said there was something in the sky. My spouse and I went out and took a video and checked ring cams. The neighbor and her family also watched the objects and took video. The objects moved slowly as seen in photos and video. The objects were below and in cloud level. Shortly after, we thought we could hear jets. It was cloudy. An Air Force base is in the direction of the sighting.
