A light that looked initially like a fluorescent glided from the west toward the east

As the light approached the 12 o clock position we both realized that it was not anything we had ever seen before. It was like a train of bright lights gliding east and very long, no noise. Was NOT an airplane, jet, helicpoter, fireworks, etc. This was a space ship !
Approx 20 seconds after the sighting, we saw three bright objects - UFOs off to the north following the spaceship in unison.
We did not have our phones outside with us and thus no pics
