Witnessed 30 or more orange circular objects heading 268 degrees across skyline in no formation or same altitude but the same direction

As i was grilling my dinner from 6:30 to 7:00 p.m.in Durham NC on Thursday January 19th 2022 i observed 30 or more circular objects that were orange in color traveling in same direction at different altitudes but roughly same speed. I would estimate they traveled at different altitudes ranging from 10,000 feet to 20,000. There was no clear path or altitudes just traveling in same heading of 268 degrees miles apart from each other. I also observed three small aircraft traveling in different directions at different times but i could see the unknown objects during this time. I made three videos knowing they would not be very good do to the conditions with my iphone but unable to download at this time.
Personally I do not believe in aliens but in my opinion these were definitely UFO’s from my observation and experience. I do spend a lot of time looking into the skies for the beauty of the heavens and shooting stars… as far as my evaluation of what I saw I am a certified FAA licensed A + P mechanic with a Associates Degree in this field.
