    Hi all, I am very new to astronomy and have become very fascinated with observing satellites. In the last few months I have been able to see and identify about a dozen.
    On Nov. 24 I saw something new for me. The satellite I observed was flashing.It was traveling in a north/NNE direction. The flash interval was about 3 seconds and was perhaps mag. 4.
    My location is 39.41/-75.50
    elevation 300 feet
    time 10:50 UT
    It was at about an 80 degree elevation. If anyone could help identify this I would appreciate it and I am sorry for the extremely amateur attempt at describing it.
    Thanks,
    Scott Dalton
