We actually had the scope out as well, but I was knackered from work and couldn't be arsed setting it up properly. Having a lot of trouble trying to find Octans through the polar scope, but that's a story for another time.
So this thing was low in the ENE, maybe 10 deg above the horizon, at about 9 or 10pm, 7-8 beers...
It was seen by 5 or 6 people (2 completely sober!), one guy actually said it was a plane, then we watched it for a bit and it didn't seem to go anywhere, at least no further than any other stars, so he changed his mind. That's how bright the red flashing was...
From memory, the red flashing was quite random, not a set rate as you'd expect from a plane.
