Question ?? Blinking Bright Light

The last two nights have been fantastic here for observing.

Each night I have spent a lot of time searching in Cetus Northern part for a particular galaxy.

Both nights observing naked eye I have seen a bright blinking light. I assume it's some form of satellite. It sometimes has a 1-2 minute gap between blinks and other times 2-5 minutes. It seems to stay in a small area and doesn't move across the sky. It is a very bright blueish white.

I continued observing with the scope in other constellations then I would glance back to Cetus and there it was again The time frame was around 8-9pm I think ........ I loose all track of time while observing

I haven't seen anything like this before.....Very unusual

Any suggestions ??
