Multiple orbs/ lights merging into one.

During an astrophotography session, I saw moving lights overhead about the size of typical stars. Initially, I suspected they could be Starlink satellites, however, as I looked closer, I could see they appear to be moving in formation, side by side, and not in line. There were approximately 4 (at least) to 6 lights, appearing to move in formation. There was a moment of hesitation where I debated if it was worth running to grab my phone to record, as I suspected it could have some common origin. However, the moment I realized their luminosity, formation, and distance to each other was shifting, and seemingly combining into one, I ran to grab my phone; unfortunately, was not able to capture anything of value, as they seemed to dim with the distance.
