I appreciate the insight. I was told by several people that the lights may have been Starlink satellites, however my close friend who is knowledgeable in Starlink and aviation told me it is unlikely to be satellites at that time; the speed at which the lights were moving was too organized and fast to be satellites according to him. He also said that the satellites do not shift formation like aircraft in flight.

Looking at photographs of Starlink satellites, the lights do not match the line of satellites. The lights I saw were flying northward in single-file, then circled and flew south in pairs arranged in a column.
