3 individual bright flashes of light and a separate large orb of light.

I am an Airline Pilot flying a Boeing 767 from Memphis, TN to Charlotte, NC. All month the same other Pilot and I have been witnessing strange lights in the sky. On this particular early morning, we had two more strange occurrences. The first happened at cruising altitude. I can’t recall if we were at 34000 or 36000 feet. We were scanning the skies because we have seen numerous strange light occurrences all week. They have always been small lights appearing and disappearing that seem to be in outer space. This one was different. Within 5-10 seconds, right as we were looking outside the left window of the aircraft cockpit, we both saw 3 separate very bright flashes of light in the same vicinity of each other that were bluish green in color. They flashed in sequential order then never reappeared. About 20 minutes later, on our descent into Charlotte, NC I saw a small white light from deep outer space that quickly flew towards my side of the cockpit on the right side until it appeared as a large white orb then vanished. It started as a small light like a shooting star, then within 3-5 seconds it was a large orb that felt like was within 5-10 miles from us. The orb was about the size of a basketball before it vanished. I was truly in awe of what I had just witnessed. The other Pilot did not see this orb as it happened so fast. What was really disturbing to me, is that I felt the orb could read my thoughts. Just prior to this happening, I was still trying to digest the previous 3 flashes of light on the left side of the airplane. I distinctly remember thinking to myself without speaking, asking whatever light phenomenon to show me sometimes definitive so I could rule out satellites, etc. Within a minute of me thinking this, the orb appeared. The other Pilot also told me he almost felt like these light phenomenon were reading our minds or telepathically communicating with us. I know this sounds absolutely insane, but it is what we experienced.
