    Based on a location of 48.41 N, 122.28 W, time of
    Jun 20 05:25:30 UTC, and position in the vicinity 
    of Tau Virginis, using Findsat I get Globalstar 
    M05 (99-43C, 25885) as a very good candidate.  It
    is a known flasher.  It's not a geosynch but is 
    in an orbit of at least 880 miles (didn't check
    the actual value) and was at a range of almost 
    1,700 miles (2,720 km) at the time of your 
    observation.
