White light flashing 3 times in one place, then moving to a different place, repeating at least 10 times

My dog jumped out of a sleep and wanted to go outside. I opened the back door and heard a low droning or humming sound seemingly coming from the right or East. My dog seemed sketched out, barked a few times. I took her into the yard on her leash. She was reluctant to move, I had to pull her. Her ears were tucked back and eyes wide. At some point the droning sound stopped. I looked at the clear night sky and saw a white light flash brightly 3 times. I thought it was odd that it just stopped as I had assumed it was an airplane. Moments later it appeared again, 3 flashes, to the right of the first time. Again it seemed odd but as I could theoretically draw a line from the first time to the next I assumed it was an aircraft. I then saw it again, every time was 3 flashes in the same spot. This time it seemed much closer; appearing to be close to the top of a tall (100+ foot) tree. It happened several different times again near the top of the tree but no longer was the path a straight line. In the moment I assumed it was always the same light/being/ufo as it would only happen at one time moments apart from each other. Then it appeared closer, again 3 flashes, no sound, appearing maybe 50 feet above the fence which was like 40 feet from me. Then again like 20 feet from me, maybe 20’feet above the ground. Meanwhile my dog would not walk still in scared stance with eyes wide and ears back. Meanwhile I had my phone’s flashlight on shining down on the grass as I was barefoot and didn’t want to step in poo. I turned it off and back on a couple times in the midst of this. I had chills and still can’t believe it. I saw the bright white triple flash again above my driveway. For sure there was trees in between the light and I so it was not in the sky. Again it flashed above my garage. One last triple flash that I could see above my house towards the opposite end where the bedrooms are (my house is ranch style so just a long rectangle). That was the last time I saw it as it seemed to be moving on to another place , or who knows. These flashes did not seem to light up the surroundings that I noticed as if a camera flash would, but were in now way dull or dim. It seemed about the size of a baseball more or less.
