3 white lights moving East with a helicopter watching them at a distance

Heading into San Antonio about 15 miles on the outskirts of town approaching Randolph AFB and Shertz area on HWY 78 we noticed 3 circular white lights and a 4th which was what looked to be a helicopter following the lights.

The lights were moving West to East and spread out in a perfect line not moving all that fast. The lights were round white like a headlight but they did not have the red flashing or blue/green lights that normal aircraft have. They were just solid.

They moved about 10 miles to the East with the copter following them. Then they all stopped moving and then a few seconds later the 3 lights disappeared. The copter was still hovering like it was watching them, probably sent up by the Air Forrce base.

Then they came back on again and kept heading East but I had to go to work and they were further away from us.

I had my Fiance with me at the time and she saw them as well. It wasn't normal aircraft as I was raised a military bratt.
