A Belgian meteorobserver sent me an all-sky image on which a track was
found similar to those on Wolfgang’s images.
I was able to identify the source of these flashes: 75007A Cosmos 706.
Time of recording was 2011-10-03 from 20:53:13 till 20.53.43.
With six flashes it might be a flash period between 4.3 and 6.0
seconds, averaging 5.1 seconds.
This is similar to Wolfgang’s statement of: The sat rotates about 10
times per minute.
