At least in my experience such threads usually turn into "aliens attacking earth" scenarios. I hope this thread is different. Generally people on FG forums are more open minded and logically orientated so this is (fortunately) quite possible.
In any way I suggest we seek a logical explanation.

Well this is true. It could be anything. Sattelites orbiting the earth, aeroplanes, helicopters, asteroids entering earth, very bright stars, a combination of the above.
I have a couple of questions which may help us understand what you saw:
1)When did you see this? You said night, but can you be a bit more specific? Can you approximately tell us the time*?
2)What is the duration of the event? Five minutes? 1 hour? etc.
3)How intense was the light? Was it a bit more than a usual star or much greater?
4)How many were they? I don't expect you to be very specific, just trying to get as much information as I can. For example you said that they were more in the video.
5)Do you live in a city with many lights or in a countryside with few?
NOTES:
*Don't convert time in GMT. Keep your local time whatever it is.
*The movement you saw could be due to:
- The Earth's movement (if you saw it for a few seconds or a couple of minutes then this is not the case)
- Satellites, aeroplanes or helicopters orbiting the earth or just moving.
- Light reflections (if you live in a city). Also a lighthouse could do the trick (have happened before . Although if there were many of them then we have to rule this out.

Well I posted this like 15 mins after I saw it. So around 11:07 PM on the fg forum time.

I dunno. It took around 3-5 minutes.

They simply seemed stars but a bit brighter than the rest. But less than when we see an airplane in the distance.
4
I dunno (And sorry I just noticed the music the video had... but it was the first of a similar case I found) They were at least more than 100. So I guess that would cut out airplanes or helicopters.

I live in the city of Porto (In Portugal) there are lots of lights making most stars unnoticeable at night... hence why my father got curious when he first saw the cluster. But from where we first saw the passing of this cluster there was relatively not much light from the streets... but I lost them when the cluster passed over my house and went to the street illuminated side of my street.
So I don't think they are debris falling to the atmosphere because they was no trail like when we see falling stars... besides the amount of time it took.
I don't think they are Airplanes and such because of the quantity.
And I don't they are satellites because the light would be too dim to be seen.
I honestly don't know what it could be.
