I dont understand, help?!

Hey guys, in the last few weeks i had several occasions where i was watching the night sky here in germany and i saw something i have never seen before and cant really explain either.

It looked like as if in some spot at the sky suddenly a star appearing and brightening up until its the brightest star and then dimming away. It isnt moving position und really looks like a star suddenly turning on and off over maybe 1sec duration or slightly longer. In 3 occasions it lit up more than once up to 5 times.

The one that lit up 5 times was the only of those that was moving. but not like a satelite would do in a continuous motion. More like it lit up around 2 stars in an area, each time im a slightly different location, but not moving while it lit up and vanished again. Also the positions didnt form a straight line or anything, just what looked like 5 random points close together. Took maybe 10 seconds or so for all that to happen.

Im not really sure what those could be. Anyone else seen something similar or any ideas? Curious to hear. It always happened so suddenly and at random times and places, that i wasnt able to capture any of them.

I dont think planes or satelites that suddenly reflect sunlight, since it never moved while shining. looked more like a fireball meteorite would light up when it wouldnt move at all but stay in one point if you get what i mean.
