Hey All, For the last several nights I have been seeing bright (Mag. 0) flashing geosync (I believe it is a geosynch because it holds it's position) with a flash period of 2 min 11 sec. At 5:07:02 UT it flashed about 3 deg. south of a star at 21hr 18min RA and +5.3 deg. Dec. (What star is this and, more importantly, what constellation does it belong to???). The sat flashed from about 5:02 UT to 5:18 UT and stopped being naked eye visible and then returned flashing with a period of 3min 55sec at 5:36:56 UT and 5:40:51 UT. Any idea on what this satellite is?
