Distant intermittent erratic bright white object dancing around in Northern Star sky region after dark freaky!

I live dead in the Center of Oklahoma. Sitting out in the cool North lawn after dark. First time 8/26/13 what appeared to be a distant star getting bright and dimming in the region of the North Star. Object began getting bright, but not moving. I was thinking I was witnessing a star exploding millions of years ago and light was just now getting here.

Then the object began to move about, like really erratic, like a star doing donuts in the sky. It seemed to be outside our atmosphere. I was mesmerised with it until it went out a few seconds later.

In a couple minutes, it appeared again but a few degrees away from original position. It would move in a reletive straight line toward the East, then change directions suddenly. It wasn't really headed anywhere, so it had no trajectory like a plane or satellite. I see business jets and satelites passing over quite frequently. This object just moved in erratic manner.

The Second time 8/28/13 I seen it, was really freaky, because it showed up two nights later, doing the same things, in the same sky region.

I again last seen it travel East toward Arkansas. These episodes are within a :30 min. time range. Surely someone else sits in their North lawn after dark and sees this.
