I've been seeing these things since February. Every clear night, usually around 8 or 9 pm. I live in CT and started watching the night sky almost every night for a little bit around this time ever since the whole drone thing. I started this back in November, and like I already said I only started seeing these orbs in February. So it was highly unusual to me.

I have the FlightRadar app and can see all the planes, helicopters, etc. and know what those lights look like. Some military craft like Chinooks, Globemasters, Blackhawks show up on the app, but I have seen some F22 Raptors during the day that don't show up on the app so I know some unregistered craft will not show up. So I am wondering if these things I'm seeing are UFO or just secret military craft?

I also thought of satellites, but whenever I searched that up it says there are no satellites visible from my area and times where one may be visible are few and far between. And from what I've seen online this behavior does not match. I have seen literally 20+ of them in the span of 30 minutes some nights, no way they are satellites?

More details: these orbs vary in dimness/brightness, but all seem to go about the same speed. They come and go from various directions across the sky and usually disappear over the horizon, but I have seen a few fade out! Also I noticed a trend where the majority of them will come from the treeline in the West of my yard.

I don't have a good camera, these videos were taken on an iPhone 13, otherwise I would have taken more videos but the dim ones barely show up. I can see them much better with my naked eye.

The first video (first minute 23 secs) shows one of the brightest ones I have ever seen (compare it to the stars, it's much brighter!) and then another one I saw right after that was about the same brightness as the stars.

The second video shows two travelling almost parallel to each other, and then I saw two more that were quite dim and you can barely make them out in the video.

Please help me figure out what these are! Let me know if any of you have seen anything similar!
