Flashing light.

I was with some friends sleeping on a tramp the other night when we saw a Satelite moving laterally across the sky.
the interesting thing was it would "flash" at seemingly random intervals.
Would this just be a satelite spinning and thus on occaison the suns rays would reflect off particular parts of it ?
because of its constant movement in the same plane and locational similarity to normal satilites i'd suggest its nothing extraordinary im just interested as to what causes the flashing.
