7 orbs hovering in sky

I wake up early naturally every morning between 3 and 5 am. I lay there a bit before I wake up, look out my window from bed or look anywhere out my back yard, there is a woods border outlining my yard. So I have a sort of big circle opening above me to the sky, but the view is enclosed by trees. It’s an odd amount of sky (small) over an acre to see 7 orbs that would be standard planes and they were moving slow but still too much to be stars. Over a minute or two they stayed in the same vicinity but slowly faded away (not like how planes do typically). One stayed bright for a minute or two after the others then did the same. Ten minutes later the sun started to erase the darkness of the sky. I woke my husband who sleeps later than me for work and he wasn’t even bothered I woke him because he was wondering what it was once he saw. I wish I had more to add but they were the standard circular lights one sees with orb photos. We also live near the national guard.
