String of white lights travelling single file uniformly spaced

02-20-2020 I live in Victoria British Columbia on Vancouver Island and was up at 6:00 am. to let my dog out to do her morning business and I follow her out and stand on guard to watch for deer sleeping in our back yard. It was still dark out so I looked up to view the stars when I immediately noticed two white lights extremely high up overhead travelling side by side moving in a North-Easterly direction. I thought that was unusual except immediately following the same path, elevation and speed was literally a convoy of white lights in single file following the two side by side lights. I started counting them but stopped at ten and looked in the direction from which they were coming from which was the South-West. I saw a long continuous line coming one after the other and at that point I ran into my bedroom and excitedly called for my wife to come see this string of lights. I ran back outside and was quickly joined by my wife and we both watched this, what seemed like an almost endless ! string of lights travelling what I can only assume is in space. The time I began watching the first time was 6:05 am. and the parade of lights lasted until the very last one in the column was at 6:16 am. I have no idea how many of these lights the were but I would estimate well over one hundred. I don’t know if there were more lights pre-ceding the column when I observed the first two but truly an amazing site to behold, plus I finally have a witness this time.

My dog at one point was growling and looking up at me and seconds later I pointed out to my wife a jet airliner travelling towards us and the column but at a bisecting North-West direction heading South-East and far below the column of lights. I don’t know if the captain saw this column but likely wouldn’t say so even if he did.
