I was with some friends sleeping on a trampoline the other night when we saw a satellite moving laterally across the sky.
the interesting thing was it would "flash" at seemingly random intervals.
Would this just be a satellite 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 satellites i'd suggest its nothing extraordinary im just interested as to what causes the flashing.
