Very high in the bright blue sky, string of pearls,

Working on a roof installing skylights one worker looked into the bright sunny sky and remarked "what is that"? I can only describe it as a string of pearls, they appeared as white dots against the bright blue sky, hanging and changing formation, sometimes v shaped then slowly changing to a straight line in relation to the ground. that is to say they bisected the earth. Several airlines passed by as this is the regular incoming flight path to San Diego airport. The planes altitude is approx, five to eight thousand feet, this (these) objects were considerably higher. As we were working we could not focus on the ufo for long, I can estimate they were visible for at least half an hour. The planes flying in must have seen them. After they were no longer visible I observed a plane (military?) flying about the same altitude, the plane appeared quite small due to it's hieght. So I'm guessing this object(s) must have been quite large. One worker thought they were ballons, as many car dealerships use strings of colored ballons to attract attention, this object resembled that but they were all white, and no balloon would have survived such altitude.
