Assuming these are some kind of snail eggs but I've never seen them in my tank before. Any idea what species? They look like clear sacs stuck to the glass at one point full of little eggs.

May be dove snails
 
What kind of snails do you have? That would narrow it down.
Thinking maybe nassarius? I have one smaller species that is always on the glass and always chasing each other.

I'm mostly familiar with the eggs of all my other snails...

I have Astrea and trochus both of which I have babies all the time. 2 or 3 different types of cerith. 3 different types of nerites that are constantly laying eggs everywhere.

I also have a stomatella that hitchhiked in but I'm almost positive I only have one so doubt that's it.
 
I think nassarius lay eggs in chains. Reminds me of freshwater pond snails, but it can’t be that…
 
There's 3 in a row and then one off to the side a bit. I scraped the glass this morning and didn't see them so unless I just completely missed it, they must have laid this afternoon.
