V formation seen over Norfolk, Virginia

I went outside for a cigarette. Looked up to the stars like I always do. I thought it was a wisp of cloud moving, but as I kept watching it was a formation of white dots moving across the sky. I kept watching to count about 20 of these white "star-like" points of light. They were moving in a loose line but as i watched i could count two next to each other as they slowly moved closer in to a distinct "V" formation. At some points it was hard to count them because it looked as if they over lapped.

The formation moved at an accelerated airplane speed. I was facing North-North-East as they moved North-North-West.

After about 12 seconds they disappeared out of side over a tree and far away. From my 60 degree angle it appeared that they were closer to to the Norfolk Naval Base as i did not see them over-head. If this was a flock of geese i dont know why it was so easy to spot them and why they were lit up.
