Multiple lights appearing and then disappearing

Went out at around 4:15 or 4:30 am to let the dogs out. I often look up when I am out at night, so I saw a cluster of stars (I thought) that began moving and flickering out. Some would light up bright white (a little larger than the brightest star) move a little and fade away. Some were red or orange. It lasted about 10 minutes, but I have no idea how long it was going on before I went out. It was almost in the same exact spot in the sky (from my vantage point), that the famous solar eclipse that happened a few years back. It was directly overhead and about 30 degrees to the south. I asked my wife to see and she observed 2 or 3 near the end. It appeared to be higher than a commercial flight. I would guess 60-80,000 feet. I shot a green laser at them, but not sure that it had any reaction to it. It felt alive or in unison if that helps.
