Saw formation of 5 translucent lights coming out of the south

As I looked up in a southern direction I saw 5 translucent lights in a half chevron formation coming straight at me, very fast and no sound. As they headed in a straight line north the kept perfect formation but occasionally the whole formation would shift slightly in unison. The background sky was clear and the stars were very sharp. The 5 lights on the other hand were a little out of focus and not the same color as the stars. Being color blind I'm not sure exactly what color they were. Perhaps bluish. I scanned the sky for about an hour afterwards and saw intense meteor activity, none of which was remotely similiar to the 5 objects I saw either in speed, color or trajectory. I now believe.
