Multiple lights flying and moving randomly.

I was cruising at FL390 Eastbound in Ankara FIR where I spotted 3 to 4 lights moving randomly in the sky. Their general direction was East-North East. Their altitude varied between my level FL390 as up to FL600 (estimate). Their speed also varied but as an estimate between 500kt to 1500kt ground speed. As an airline pilot I have seen different phenomenon, from satellites to asteroids or rocket launch and this is nothing I have witnessed before. It is not my 1st encounter. This is my 3rd time in the past year and in 3 different places in the world. First time was over the mid of North Atlantic, second was over the Mediterranean ocean and the 3rd time is the one I am reporting.
