You contradict yourself here. How can a satellite 'blink' if it is within the cone of earths shadow? The satellite would appear as a black dot against a bright background - exactly like what you captured.
I would say it is a satellite. If it was an asteroid it would have to be so large that astronomers would have probably detected it a couple of centuries ago!
