Batesville, IN

Clear sky, I was walking my dogs outside my lawn facing 300 see a (1)flash starting around 210 (30 angle going towards the horizon which was my tree line) thought it was a meteor at first but there was no trail. As I walk to the side of my house to get a clearer view of the sky (Orions belt left of the sky)facing 210 (60 angle) now I saw another seemingly instant (2)flash no trail white bright light curving almost like an S but more so elongated. The light disappeared I saw the beginning and the end. The end was about 75 angle. (3)Then it appeared back into the sky from my view left side of the orions belt starting below his legs curving around it and and up towards 80 angle then dissapearing also seeing the end. No trails for anything no means for propulsion seemingly appearing in one side of the sky out the other. Quiet night no noise. There was also a plane in the sky heading towards Cincinnati I believe and I heard a helicopter. Before I left to walk my dog I was in a call with my friend on my pc using discord. When I came back inside my pc was back in the Home Screen page wanting a password and disconnected from the call. And that wouldn’t have happened other than my computer losing power and coming back on. I have no screensaver settings or any previous electrical problems with my PC Could be coincidence but all that happening together seems odd this was an explanation for checked box for electrical/magnetic interferences.
