Was watching Iridium 54 flare last night on its NW -> SE track. After the flare, I continued watching I54 travel southward. A few seconds after the flare diminished, there was a bright flash just North of I54. About 8-10 seconds later, another flash several degrees farther north. In my periferal vision I could see a dim sat moving on a SE -> NW track at maybe 80' elevation. It continued to flash every 10 seconds or so. I ran my list of 100 or so brightest sats through TrakStar and PassScheduler but did not find a match. Anybody know what this sat this flasher was? (First time I'd seen a flashing/glinting sat...very cool.)
