Hi:

 Just came in from trying to locate Comet Linear T7 in my 10x50 binoculars.
During
the brief observation a "white blinking" light caught my attention. Anyone know 
what satellite it may have been?

Date: Feb.12 
Time UT: 2245 - 2255 UT
Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Lat: N 44d 39'
Long: W 63d 36'
Height: 57 meters

Object: Below Gamma Pegasi, white blinks spaced about 5 seconds or so. Blink
        magnitude estimated about 4 mag.
        
        First noted object about 259 azumith at 2245 and by time I finished it
was
        near 258 azumith.
