Object with no strobes, characteristic of a light bulb on a dimmer switch, stationary.

On 3 separate occasions, I have spotted objects to the north/northeast, east, and north/northwest. The first two occasions involved 2 objects; one brighter than the other. On the first occasion, the brighter of the two objects briefly moved at a slow speed straight up and stopped, then both faded out as does a light bulb on a dimmer switch. On the second occasion, the same scenario to the east, but no movement. These two events were approximately 3 weeks apart, and occurred at 04:55 hours and 04:57 hours respectively; one in February and the next in March. The third event just occurred. I spotted a light to the north/northwest that was instantly bright, and then faded out. I am a public safety dispatcher and there were no medivac flights airborne or local private aircraft operating in our area at the time. I checked the ADS-B Exchange flight radar tracker and the only only air traffic plotted nearby was N219CY, a 767 cargo flight off to the east at approx. 39,000 feet, heading due south. There was a small, twin engine turbo prop plotted off to the northwest approx. 43.3 miles off. My exact location on all three occasions was 32.93794570574481, -84.34035186775012. These objects did not display navigation lights, they were singularly luminous and appeared to be anywhere from 40 to 50 miles in the distance. The only active weather balloon for this third sighting was in Newnan to the northwest: CPHAS8,Software: radiosonde_auto_rx-1.7.2, Antenna: 1/4 wave monopole; Last Contact: 2024-05-05T02:17:00.658198Z per the Sondehub Tracking System. This balloon was further west of the area of sky I sighted the object.
