as he is not a member of Seesat-L. Using Findsat I thinnk this is
ETS-6 aka Kiku-6 9456A. I would hypothesize that the the allsky
camera resolution, and/or
the technique used to check its output integrates the flashes, Any

A fellow Finnish observer recorded a bright (mag 1 or so) moving
starlike object on his fireball monitoring video few nights ago. It may
have been a balloon or something like, but possibly something outside
the atmosphere. It seem to be too bright for a distant slow moving
satellite. There was rising Moon just bellow the horizon to this
direction so the object may have been lit by it.
Measured coordinates can be found bellow. Any ideas anyone?
