Driving northwest at the corner of Kaliste Saloom Rd and Kensington looked up and saw a string of about 9 orbs in a straight line

After seeing these orbs, I backed my truck up to get my phone inside my house to take a photo and came back outside and the orbs were gone. It looked like a satellite deployment but it seems like they would not have disappeared within the 30 seconds it took me to backup in my truck, run in the house and look back to the NW. I stared at the night sky in all directions after that but saw nothing but a few planes. The Lafayette airport in northeast of our home and we see planes all the time. I am sure someone else had to have seen these orbs, as they were bright white and not as high as was the last time I saw a satellite deployment.

There was a main larger orb in front and smaller orbs following the front orb. It looked like a satellite deployment but why did they disappear so quickly.
