I bet it's being caused, by the main body of the satellite. I observed a flash from telstar 402 R ( 23670 ) and it had a orange color to it. Since it's main body was covered in kapton, then to me the main body was causing that flash. I better go hide, people are going to say, the main body can't cause a flash. I have observed a few flashing geo sat's, that the first time I saw color to the flash. I know what I saw, and that all that matter's to me.
