30+ orange lights flying in formation

I was driving south on highway 601 yesterday evening (it was already dark). I was slowing down to actually get on 601 at a yield sign when my boyfriend pointed out bright orange lights in the sky. I pulled over and we watched. The objects were a little larger than a plane would be. I counted and saw at least 30 of them. At first I actually thought it could be an extremely odd and rare view of a constellation of some sort, but I soon realized this was not the case. They were in formation moving west to east at a constant speed. Then, as if planned, they began entering a new formation. They continued traveling and then I could not see them anymore. I believe other people saw it because as I continued driving I saw another car stopped in the road. I wish I could have recorded it or taken a picture, but our phones would not pick them up.
