Flashing light moving up, down and crisscrossing

I am always outside looking for meteors. About 5 minutes into looking for one, I saw a white flash in the sky looking east, southeast about 20° to 25° up. One white light blinking on the left side of the star in the picture attached then next blink, it was below the star, then next blink, it was on the left side of the star, next blink it was below the star but on the left side. It was like the blinking light was moving around the star as if it was moving in a six square box with the star in the center  After a minute or two, looking at this blinking light moving around, I ran inside to get my phone camera and it was gone.
