Multiple "Power Ups" in small area of sky

Now this is really starting to get weird for me. I seem to be seeing more and more of these things. I had recently reported seeing one on the 17th of July in Cape Breton so of course I seem to be spending more time watching the skies now.

I went to a backyard fire in my neighborhood last night and stayed quite late. At 0300h I stood on my porch just looking up at the sky. At first I noticed what seemed to be a lot of satellites moving in the same direction one every minute or so and some going back in the same direction. Then I started looking at the area of sky where they all seemed to be originating or heading to. It was then I saw several "power ups" as someone else refers to them. In a span of about 45 minutes I saw at least 6 lights appear from nowhere and become the brightest thing in the sky or as they were traveling become the brightest thing in the sky. These flare ups lasted no more than about 3 to 5 seconds and then after they went back to looking as though they were just satellites traveling across the night sky. On two occasions I saw very bright flashes of light that only lasted a fraction of a second but they were bright enough to catch my attention. All in all between objects which did and did not flare up I saw in total around 20 or so objects moving across the sky in that small area. WOW!
