Saw a series of lights hung about 1000 or so feet above on the right hand side of me

Driving home from a hunting trip on escambia river to pensacola i saw a series of perfectly level lights hanging maybe a thousand feet above the ground. At first I thought they were stars, but then noticed they were moving spatially with the car and they were much too close to be stars. I remained looking at them for about 4 or 5 minutes until they were no longer visible behind the curvature of the road. The elderly gentleman with me was looking at the road as he was towing a boat and refused to look over. I tried to get a picture but they were too far away; I was able to catch a brief glimpse on video nothing is really visible.
