During my observing session tonight, I was just getting setup and was locating the Omega Nebula when I noticed a bright flare in the sky. Thinking not too much more of it, I kept looking for the nebula, when I noticed the flare again, just beneath the northern most star of scutum. I paid a bit more attention and the light flared again. I quickly got my scope onto it and found a little satellite moving slowly through scutum and towards E direction. Counting the pulses, it was emitting a bright light every 7 seconds. It otherwise appeared like a dim small satellite between the bright pulses. This occured at approximately 7.10pm. I followed the object for about 10 minutes - quite interesting and I assumed it must be rotating on its axis and reflecting sunlight off some part of its surface. It was far too bright to believe it was being emitted by artifical means. Now before anyone think's I've spotted a high flying jet, I had a 13mm eyepiece on my 8 inch giving me 92x magnification - it was still a pin point light. Then I stuck the barlow on giving me 184x mag and it was still a pin point light - no wings or other cabin lights visible.
I checked stellarium and couldn't find anything about that time, so does anyone have any ideas?

thanks
