Added to Bjorn's note about IGS 1B: Russell Eberst already reported this satellite as having a varying brightness. I tried to determine a period in this variation. It must be long as I was not able to find a full period during every transit I tried. I'm not surprised this satellite can cause bright flares due to its "rotating".
