Spotted around 1AM in the Wester Sky on Friday, June 5, 2020

Around 1AM on June 5, I looked out my back door towards the West. Low on the horizon (referenced a marker on the horizon with tree line), I saw one extremely bright light. It was "wobbling," but not moving in a line similar to an aircraft. I thought it could possible be a satellite, but decided to return in 15 minutes to see if it had moved. Upon return, the object was now much higher on the horizon, and it started to randomly fade out to total darkness, and then, without any noticeable pattern, it would brighten back to a bright burst. There was no cloud cover in this area as stars were visible in the general area. I return approximately 15-20 minutes later to see a second similar, but smaller light in the same area; however, this second light never pulsed. I think that the spacelink satellites may have been in our horizon area, but not sure if this was them as there were only two lights and at at 1AM.
