Light turning on and off

While I was out in my backyard last night between 8-9pm, sitting in my jacuzzi and looking up at the sky, I always notice shooting stars. But last night for the first time, I was looking at the sky and I saw a light turn on for one second and then turn off. I thought it was my vision even though I have perfect vision but I kept looking for it again in the same area. Within a 20 minute period, I saw the light about 7 times. It would turn on for one second, then turn off for about 3 minutes. Have you heard of anything like this? I have never seen something like this in the sky before. Could it be a stationary satellite that flashes once in a while? Looking forward to your response. The size of the light was like a bright star.
