Lights that traveled across the sky faster than anything else I've ever seen

I saw one bright, white light. It moved at a steady pace from the south up to the north. Faster than satellites, planes or helicopters. It never flickered, had no shape surrounding the light I could see and never fluctuated its path. As soon as the 1st light was gone I saw 2 more of a similar appearance going the same direction. Possibly a couple of miles apart from each other. When those 2 had almost passed beyond the horizon I saw a 4th one heading south, having just passed the other two I witnessed. I've watched the night sky a lot in my life and have seen several different things. I've never seen anything like this before.
