Initial data
An eyewitness from the city of 's-Heer Arendskerke reports:
10 or more UFOs which were moving in the same direction at the same distance. Too dark for photos, unfortunately.

Original news
'S-HEER ARENDSKERKE, ZL — 10 of meer UFO's die op steeds dezelfde afstand zich in dezelfde richting bewogen. Te donker voor foto's helaas.
Hypotheses
Satellite
Ordinary satellites, which often look like single, not very bright luminous dots moving smoothly in the night sky, are quite often mistaken for UFOs. After the Starlink satellites (near-Earth satellite systems developed by SpaceX, in order to create a cheap and high-performance satellite Internet communication channel and technical transmitters for receiving and transmitting signals from earth and orbit) were launched, it became possible to observe groups of satellites (up to 60 pieces) flying one after another.
Investigation
Based on the description of an eyewitness, most likely a satellite Starlink.
On the website findstarlink.com point nabludenia NETHERLANDS - Rotterdam stated:
11:22 pm, 26 Apr 2020
Starlink-5, BRIGHT (2.9) for 6 mins
Look from WEST to SOUTHWEST (details)
Elevation (from horizon): start: 10° max: 51°, end: 51°
To account for the shift in time of observation from a different vantage point, it's probably a satellite.

News: Starlink satellites surround the Earth
The American company SpaceX has an idea: to surround the Earth 42 000 satellites to provide broadband Internet access in any point of the globe. A project called Starlink worried astronomers. The satellites are quite bright and can interfere with the observations. Ulrich K. Banert saw this picture when I was flying a plane over the border of Canada and the United States on January 20.
