Multiple lights around the southern sky moving randomly.

On March 14th, I sent a report about seeing lights in the southern sky south of Huntsville Alabama. Since then, I have gone out in my back yard and checked the sky for more lights moving randomly in the sky. Every night since then, cloud cover permitting, I have seen the lights. The sky in that direction is unlit. I have seen anywhere from 2 or 3 to as many as 8. These lights are spaced from the west to the east around Huntsville. Some of the lights are brighter than others and others are smaller.

In watching, they move randomly in a general area they occupy. At times they move rapidly and other times they seem to hover or move slowly. There seems to be no pattern to the movements. During times of slow moving broken clouds, the lights when covered by the clouds, seem to move to the nearest opening in the clouds. On a few occasions, there appears to be a small light suspended below the main light.

Last night, March 27th 2023, while observing the lights, one of them began traveling to the east from a southerly position and at the same time one in the eastern sky began traveling west to a southerly position. The east bound light eventually disappeared in the east and the west bound light settled into a position approximately where the east bound light started from. Both lights traveled quite a distance at a moderate speed making random movements. All the lights I have seen since March 14th do the same thing every night, moving randomly, in all directions, at times darting to a spot. I have seen these lights in the evening and in the early morning hours prior to the sun coming up.
On two occasions I had my wife come out to observe just to make sure I was not seeing things and she too observed the lights moving around in the sky.
