Strange Object in Capricornus?
Hi all:
Was up this morning at 3 am, just looking at the sky and noticed a "blinking light" way, way up in the Capricornus area (NE sky) - far too distant to be an airliner's light.
I've seen this before, and the weird thing about it is that:
1) it blinks ~ once every 40-50 seconds (but not necessarily "regularly)
2) it shifts position whenever I notice its "blink" - it tends to move around, as in from side-to-side, and up-and-down in one smallish area of the sky - during the period that I can see it.
After a (very) few minutes, it usually disappears.
Anyone have an idea as to what it might be? Observation (2) above is what puzzles me most.
