Five flickering lights in chevron shape over Lackland AFB in San Antonio TX.

I am a home health PTA and I was going to see a patient in their home. As I was leaving my housing development, I saw five flickering lights in the sky that appears to me to be over Lackland AFB. I pulled over to watch, but did not get pictures or video. The lights were in a chevron shape and this did not change so I assume it was one object. I did not see a physical craft or dark shape the lights were connected to. I am an Air Force veteran and former San Antonio police officer, I see C5's flying overhead all the time as Lackland AFB is the training facility for this large plane. Even when a C5 is flying over the base 12 miles away, you can make out that it is a plane. The object I saw was only lights that flickered like a silver mylar balloon would in the wind reflecting the sun. There was no pattern between the five lights, but the distance between them remained constant. I watched for maybe a couple of minutes and it banked to my left in a northern direction. Then then flickered out and I did not see them again.
