Characteristics: Lights on object

They occur frequently at night, flashing while standing still and would then dissapear or change location

The sighting has occurred for months now since the one came over our house with an enormous bright light, it appeared southwest moving east with a bright flash, and stayed that way up until it couldn't be seen anymore. Flashes have been occurring more frequently of still standing objects that cant be identified with the naked eye as they are too far up. Some travel at satellite height or even much lower at hyper speed and some change direction suddenly. these don't occur much but the flashes are almost every night. either from the northern parts, eastern parts, and southern parts of the sky as the bird flies. At first, we thought they were planes, but realized planes have noise and don't standstill. Then we thought it was a helicopter, but again, a helicopter has noise and they aren't that high. we have tried flashing them back with a tactical laser 200km distance beam.....they seem to disappear/ stop flashing after that. There was a case where one kept on flashing after it was flashed back in morse code. They usually appear in more or less the same place at night. The latest one that was sighted moved low, cloud height, to the south coming from the north. They are shiny seems like they are illuminated in some way or have bright lights surrounding them. They are never alone, feint ones can be spotted if you look very very carefully, your eyes play tricks on you sometimes if you lose focus. But looking away and regaining your focus helps to see them again for a moment. It is too dark to take any videos or images via phone, I have tried, but the bright ones appear as a small star, and that wouldn't be valid. They seem to be getting closer at some stages.
