Multiple sightings of maneuvering orbs

I am a captain at a major US based airline and have seen these on multiple occasions with various first officers on my crew. Almost always on a 310-320 degrees bearing and above our horizon line by 2 degrees to off scale but estimated at 15-20 degrees above. We watch for as much as an hour at a ground speed of 400-450 knots. Usually one orb but as many as 6 at a time. The lights or orbs are very bright on occasion and are never flashing or changing color.
