bright flashing object at dusk northeast sky

At dusk no stars yet visible. If it had been darker I would have assumed it was a star. Oddly enough out of the corner of my eye this object appeared. Quite a bit larger than your average star and brighter. Both my daughters also saw it. It was illuminated for about 5 seconds and then was gone and though a cloud obstructed it but it was a clear evening. The object appeared 3 more times over about a 20 minute period of time. It didn't appear to move that I could tell and again there no stars visible at the time. Located northeast of town.
