    Yes, it is. From the SatDesc database...
    Cosmos 2369 r
    Russia: (Zenit rocket from Baikonur): Zenit rocket body. FLASHING: Period of 
    about 0.56 seconds.
    
    I'm not sure about your 2-3 minutes early comment. Satellite Hunting places 
    it directly overhead at 11:02:00 could you have been a minute off in your 
    estimate of culmination time?
    Local Time ±mm:ss   Satellite Name  Sat.#   Elev.   Azimuth Mag

    11:02:00 PM [±00:00]    Cosmos 2369 r   26070    89°    234° [SW]   2.9
