I noticed a faint moving object with respect to the stars. When I checked the cause, viasat 3 was in the area. Time was 3:23 utc Will check tonight if clear, to confirm flaring. As far as I can tell, the star was not any noise generated by the camera. So maybe, the antenna deployed and open just enough, so it could reflect sunligh, ie cause a antenna flare. This is only a thought so pay no attention to it. Anyways if it's flaring, I'll take in the show. Intelsat 29e which failed in geo orbit, and developed a bad attitude gace a nice flash show for a few minutes. I would observe a bright flash, with 3 fainter flashes in between. Gave bright flashes for a few minutes around 4:26 utc.
