1/13/17, 6:15 AM, 3 extremely bright " stars" that appeared, shone with a bright flash, and blinked off, east of the Big Dipp

At about 6:15 AM this morning on January 13, 2017, just before dawn, there were three "stars" that appeared, east of the Big Dipper's "bowl," appeared one by one, shone very brightly, and then disappeared, blinked off, one by one. They looked like stars or fireflies, in terms of size, but very far away and extremely bright, brighter than stars. They could be seen in the peripheral vision, which picks up light and motion better than straight-on vision does.
