If they were all kind of moving in a line together, you probably saw part of a starlink constellation.
They weren't in a straight line but they were all definitely headed the same direction. Didn't consider starlink but perhaps. The four looked like a stadium flyover but wider with other trailing lights. I wish it was clearer. I'll have to look when I'm there on a clear night.

I think I saw a few of these. Shame now even our night sky is being polluted with man made objects like this, and Musk plans and building thousands more.

Well now the news is reporting that the balloon was able to transmit data back to China which is not what we were told while it was happening.
