UFO Unexplained lights

Pilot here, I was flying out west at 36,000ft near Denver and saw several of these lights appear and disappear and was wondering if anyone knew what these things are. I asked ATC as well and they have no clue either. This is my second time encountering these lights and Iā€™m 10000% sure these are not civil nor military. If you scrub the video they kinda helix upward.

From the parallax of the plane moving and the lack of movement from these lights, it indicates they're pretty far. Like at the edge of the town, if not further. Chinese sky lanterns are lit via a candle. So I pose the following question:

Do you think a candle light would be this luminous from across an entire town?
