Tristan,

If they were tracking with Abell 33, Express AM 22 (2003-060A) and Intelsat 903 (2002-016A) would have drifted into the frame similarly to the provided images.

Express AM 22 (the one in the upper part of the image) was put into a graveyard orbit last year, so the attitude is no longer being maintained, hence the flashing.

Thanks,
Michael

Subject: request for identification

Hi all,

I probably won't have the time to identify this one.  I correspondent made
a picture of abell33 and a flashing satellite and another satellite going
in the same direction passed into the photographic view.

Place coördinates:N38.219854, W6.631794
Abell33= Right ascension 09h 39m 09.2s Declination −02° 48′ 35″
DATE-OBS= '2020-02-17T02:13:31(most probably UTC)
Satellites moved about 1.5 degrees in 300s.

Any help is very appreciated

Here are two pictures:
