What the blazes was this!?

Hi all,

I am in one hell of a spin right now!

I just came in from seeing something in the sky I have absolutely no idea what it was.

At 7:42pm local Sydney time I happen to look up to the sky towards the east to see long straight line of lights all moving in the same direction towards the south east. It was approximately at an altitude of 30deg when I first caught glimpse of this sting of lights towards the east.

The string of lights somewhat resembled a fireball, but the beaded structure did not change in brilliance, so all the beads of light stayed just as bright and static in their position in the line of lights, with no flickering at all.

It was very high in altitude, moving with the same velocity as the IIS, so again not a fireball as these move much faster.

My son saw it as well, and we followed its path across the sky until it disappeared into the murky south east horizon.

Below is a graphic of what it resembled, as an electric bright beaded string of lights.

My son and I have NEVER seen anything like this, EVER!
