UFO over Iraq

As a UH-60 Black Hawk medevac pilot I was on a routine night transport from Al Asad to Balad and back to Al Asad. After dropping off patients in Balad flying back to Al Asad under night vision goggles at an altitude of 200 ft I observed what appeared to be 5 lights all on the same craft at an altitude of 60,000 ft or more traveling from south to north. Could not be seen without goggles on, craft was not moving erraticly or at super high speeds, did not make any sudden turns. No aircraft were operating at that altitude at that time. Lost sight of object/s after approx 1 min.
