A line of lights stable at zenith

We live in a private house in a countryside, I went outside at about 7:30 pm, it was a windy (15 m/sec maybe) cloudless night, I stayed for a while watching the stars, Syrus was low and almost at the South then, when watching ahead something strange caught my attention: it was a line of very small dull (much duller than stars) but distinct lights approximately 15 lights close to one another in exact line and very stable, the color couldn't be seen clearly but I feel it to be red (I'm artist, so I am trained in guessing color shades). Visually it had the length of moon disk and directed from South-east to North-west. Maybe I would not notice them, they caught my attention because they were turning on one by one at the moment. This happened all the period of observation: all the 15 lights appear one by one, then all at once disappear, it was a pause for a couple of seconds, then they appear again, one by one. We don't have electric lines or wet branches there that could reflect light from below, it cannot be helicopter or drone no such vehicle can be that stable in such wind. The dullness and clearness of lights gave feeling of big hight- from 10 to 100 miles, hard to say. I felt puzzled and didn't believe my eyes, at the same time I remember some heavy feeling in heart, and next couple of weeks when outside at night I mechanically raised my eyes to the spot.
