I saw three pulses of light in the sky, and I can't figure out what it was

[Legend]

Happened a couple nights ago while I was in the hot tub stargazing. A flash/pulse of light just a bit brighter than a bright star. Then maybe ten seconds or 30 hard to say, and another pulse in the same spot. Then a third pulse shortly after that, exact same spot.

All three pulses had the same duration and same brightness. The duration between the first two was much longer than the second.


I can only assume it was a sat/rocket stage in a very high orbit that was tumbling, that'd make it appear stationary, but you wouldn't expect flashes like this. Instead it'd be a constant duration between flashes or just one flash if it was tumbling. Also it was 45 degrees north so not a geostationary satellite. Maybe a molniya orbit, idk. I'd have to write my own software and download a database of everything tracked in the sky in order to know for sure, the basic stuff online is only for bright satellites.



I'll just assume it was aliens.
