I just saw an interesting object in the sky:

Travelling West to East, around 50 degrees above the Southern horizon, travelling about two widths of my outstretched thumb in ten seconds.

It was invisible to the naked eye, except that it flashed roughly every 10 seconds -- some flashes were about the intensity of the brighter stars in the Southern Cross, some longer but dimmer. The flashes were brief, and white.

It looked as though it was moving too slowly to be an aircraft -- is there a satellite with that sort of flashing behaviour? (spinning and reflecting the sun?)
