NOAAs are notorious for bright glints, including rather rapid double glints. See, e.g., http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/Mar-1998/0227.html for a rather nice report by Ed Cannon which includes a provocative question or http://www2.satellite.eu.org/flash/102/node17.html for an earlier report from me when I was more confused about the flashing behavior of the NOAAs. If that doesn't satisfy your thirst, try the search noaa double seesat at http://www.google.com, for dozens of links. Speaking of flashing, Christian Ackermann, if you are reading this, the data you report for Okean-O R/B 25861 (99-39B) would be excellent for the PPAS, http://www2.satellite.eu.org/ppas/ppas8.html, where such OBS are tabulated by the tens of thousands into a valuable research trove.
