A vertically orientied and tight collection of dozens and dozens of random, blinking lights.

The best way I can describe this in real life phenomena would be if an airplane attached a large tv to its tail and was showing some random patterns of blinking, twinkling, shimmering lights. Kind of like the Ironman plane in Spiderman Homecoming how it has the lights attached to the fuselage to camouflage it. The light pattern all seems to be together on an object and not separate from whatever it was being projected from. They were a warm type of white lights, many different sizes, some shimmered, some blinked and they all seemed to be projected on something oriented vertically. I naturally went to FlightAware to see what was in the sky and there was an Air France flight moving in the same direction at the same time. 
I used to live under a flight pattern for CVG when I lived in Cincinnati, Mt. Healthy specifically so I have seen a ton of planes in my life and a lot of satellites. I have no idea what I saw early this morning.
