He's writing:
A series of lights moving at the same speed from west to north
On the website ufomeldpunt.nl it is indicated that the most likely explanation is the Starlink satellites:

Original news
Rij lichten (geen starlink)g
SCHOONHOVEN, ZH — Rij lichten dat met gelijke snelheid bewoog van west naar noord
Meest waarschijnlijke verklaring
Starlink satellieten

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
On the website ufomeldpunt.nl It is indicated that the most likely explanation is the Starlink satellites.
On the website findstarlink.com specified:
(past) 4:38 am, 11 Aug 2022
Starlink-53 (G4-26) (new), BRIGHT (1.8) for 2 mins
Look from SOUTHWEST to SOUTHEAST (details)
Elevation (from horizon): start: 42°, max: 42°, end: 11°
Which confirms the version.
