I saw a bunch of lights in strange formation near fault line where lights are not normally seen.

I reached the bottom of the grade where the 62 meets Indian canyon rd.  When I looked towards the direction I was going I saw a minimum of 20 lights over Joshua tree National Park.  The lights were in a straight line following what seemed to be the ridge line or San Andreas Fault line.  I watched for a few minutes before I pulled off to the side of the road and pulled out my phone.  I coupd not see the lights on my phone but I continued to watch until they faded into the glow of the rising sun.  I could not make out and defined shape of any individual craft.  I did notice at about 2 minutes into the "show" the lights faded almost completely and then brightened to about "led headlight".  I figured the crafts were approximately 1000 feet A.G.L. from the ridge moving at constant speed S.S.E. along fault line or ridge.
