Flashing white light roughly same position blinking about 30 seconds apart 5 or 6 times before moving further away from the planet
Saw a bright light flash in very clear night sky over Darwin, Australia on the 8th November 2010.
I was looking up at stars at the time as I have done nearly every night for a few years while sitting outside around midnight so it was out of the ordinary. I initially thought it could be a plane flying over at high altitude but it was just one flash of light rather than normal plane lights, plus it did not track across the sky.
I waited and about 30 seconds or so then the same flash of light but in about the same position, so I decided to count the intervals of flash to check if it was consistent. By my count it was intervals of 32 (counting 1 and 2 and 3 and etc). This happened about 5 or 6 times until the flashes got dimmer quite quickly as if moving away.
The area of stars I was looking at would have been about 'Orion' at the time, maybe slightly to the west of that.
