Irregular star like flashes
Between the constellations of Gemini and Orion I saw, out of the corner of my eye, what appeared to be a light flash from a high flying aircraft.
I focused my gaze in that area, expecting to see it again since aircraft flash at a regular rate. There was no flash.
I resumed scanning the sky again and saw another flash in the earlier position. It was about 8 seconds between these flashes.
I waited 15 seconds and nothing happened again.
About 10 seconds after that, I saw a third flash in the same area as before, so I focused on it again. This time I was privileged to get a series of six flashes. They were not evenly spaced in the 90 seconds I saw them.
At NO time did it move. The flashes were between two stars, and it maintained the same distance between them all the while I observed this.
At first I thought it was a rotating satellite, but it did not move.
I am at a loss to explain this.
