Bright, flashing fast moving ???

Now I am not normally one to post a strange lights in the sky post, but this one has me more than a little puzzled ?
Last night in far western Qld (Roma District) what appeared to be a satellite moving aprox SW to NE around aprox 7:30 pm around Mag 1 . Except that it covered perhaps 40 degrees of sky in about 6 to 10 seconds. Flashing every 2 to 3 seconds.
I am looking for a rational explanation & yes I have checked the Heavens above Satellite passes & it is way too quick for any of these.
It is well known that there are undocumented satellites up there.
Has anyone experienced anything similar ?
