Multiple silver orbs appearing and disappearing in the same small area of sky

Shortly before 10 PM I let the dog out to do her duty. Several neighbors had firework displays going on, the closest maybe a quarter mile away. There is minimal light pollution in the area. I looked up at a small constellation of stars and noticed a small silver orb appear close to one of the stars I was looking at. It wasn’t moving particularly fast, much slower than a satellite would. It was at a very high altitude. As I watched it, it slowly faded after traveling a short distance. Then another appeared following the exact route the previous one had just taken. After traveling about the same distance, it too disappeared. Then another would appear, do the same thing, and fade out. I called out to my wife who was out on the porch and I told her where to look and pointed to where I was seeing the objects. She also witnessed several of the objects, and agreed it was very peculiar. They were not planes, flares, or satellites. They all appeared on the same vector and path one after the other, almost perfectly spaced distance wise. As one faded, another would appear. There were approximately 10 to 12 objects total, and the total viewing time was around 5 to 7 minutes. My wife managed to get video of the last two we saw. Very bizarre experience, I will be watching these reports closely to see if anyone else saw the same thing. With it being the 4th and all, hoping with all the eyes to the sky someone else may have saw them as well.
