numerous pinpricks of light following each other evenly spaced

I was looking at the night sky SW of my home. I noticed a pinprick of light moving through the sky. I have seen these before which I believe were jets flying 30,000 to 40,000 mi up and only one. The pinpricks of light I saw this time were followed by six others with the same distance apart. A moment of time past, and these six were than replaced by 40 pinpricks of light slightly further west and going east like the first six and evenly spaced like the first six. I saw a brighter light to my right coming closer to where I was. It was bright white with a yellow center. It went right over my house going east.
