Sky sighting i need help please?

So i went to a near by location and i saw this object in the sky it was blinking almost like a blue and red (sounds weird i know) So i get hoe and a buddy comes over and i show him thinking nothing of it. need i say IT HAD NOT MOVED. it was fully stationary. So we sat out there for a little bit and we saw more popping up. we counted 8 before the night was over. I live in upstate ny very close to lake ontario. We saw 5 in the Canada direction and 1 going southeast and 2 to the southwest. THEY ALL LOOKED the same same brightness everything. now no star looks the same and they were not planes for they were stationary. Someone please help me to figure out what i was seeing. Were going to do it tonight also to see if we witness it again.
