flash above

Me and my family were outside lighting off fireworks and my wife noticed a light going across the sky andwe looked up to see this star moving from a southern direction to the north and when it got directly overhead wr saw a flash of light come down but did not illuminate the the surrounding area, then a 30 seconds later a second star shape was on the same trajectory as the first but a little dimmer and then it faded out of site as the first,

then a third one came from the north towards the south just a bit off to the west of the other two objects a minute later, not saying anything is strange except for the fact that out of 5 years of living here and looking up with the kids and their telescope never have seen this and being from Texas as a kid I could recognize a satellite pretty quick but never seen a flash or so many at one time,

like to know what was going on in my "neighborhood" at the time.
