10-20 fast moving white lights that appeared to be satellites at first but changed directions mid-flight before fading away
Exited my car with my 10 year old daughter. Looked up and saw two white lights traveling side by side with two objects directly behind them (similar to a T shape).
These initial objects continued southeast before turning northeast and fading away shortly afterwards.
Following the initial four objects, at least 10 additional objects (possibly more) followed the same flight path and turned northeast before also fading away.
These objects were spread out significantly more than a starlink launch, these had an estimated five second flight speed delay between them and took several minutes to pass.
They appeared to be traveling significantly faster than a plane that was also visible in the sky at the same time as these objects.
The plane and one of the objects got so close that I thought there may be a collision, but this did not occur.
I have no way to estimate the altitude of the objects.
This also occurred in fairly close distance to both Edgewood and Aberdeen Proving Grounds.
