Bright Flashing Light in Night sky that does not move plus flares, metors and Satellites HD video

USing the Sony A7s again with the Dark Knight lens enables me to see things in space in video mode that there is no way you could otherwise
I picked up the flashing light again, three nights in a row. if it is a Geostationary satellite it must be rotating
0:00 Introduction
0:10 Sped up 16x

@@zanb35 oh its definitely more than 5g, ive heard something around the estimate of 60-70% are classified government satellites aka military ops.

Its really quite sad, especially when the general public is clueless and always looking down at their phones instead of up towards the sky..

Very interesting. You have a 2nd stationary flashing object on your video. If you split your screen in vertical fourths, look at the 1/4 quarter on the right side of the screen, almost the same height as the one on the center. It flashes in the same spot. The two satellites side by side or whatever they are is something I've never seen before.

[@Rick-or2kq]

Many years ago I was working a night shift coming home at about 4:00 AM I was walking to the house I looked up at the sky and there was a faint steady blinking light not moving, watched for about 5 mins not being to figure out what it could be. I have spent a lot of time out under the night sky with scopes and have seen a few things I could not explain.

[@ZupaTr00pa]

Could have been a geosynchronous satellite that was tumbling/rotating and catching the light just right to appear as if it were flashing?

[@Mothball_man]

@@ZupaTr00paI always thought geosynchs were completely stationary but maybe they spin. I’ve heard there is a satellite “graveyard” several thousand miles away where decommissioned satellites are sent. Apparently they go VERY slow in comparison to active ones. Could these be decommissioned satellites slowly spinning?

[@ZupaTr00pa]

@@Mothball_man I don't know enough about it all but I think it's a plausible reason for sure. There's so much stuff up there that some of it is going to catch the light just right. There must be the same effect of when the sun reflects off of your watch and it's super bright if you shine it just right

[@touchnova]

In the first clip there was a second stationary flashing life a touch lower and about 2/3 across the scene to the right. Slower flash interval I think, but definitely stationary and constant.

[@GaryPClark]

I saw that one also.

[@djmattyice6569]

I noticed this as well! I was thinking pulsar? Would we see it like that in real time? Then the other one mid-right started like you said stationary. Thats pretty strange...it would have to be either reeeeeeeeally far away n maybe reflecting or shining...or in an orbit around us going exactly the same speed as the rotation to remain unmoving to the naked eye/telescope.

[@saeedkh7821]

@@djmattyice6569 If a pulsar existed so close to earth that you could see with the naked eye, it would cause chaos and throwing off the orbits of the planets. Most of the pulsars are only visible in the radio region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

[@Lycan_24_7]

Interesting, could it be a pulsar? Perhaps you should report the coordinates to your local observatory. Maybe they have information on it.

[@netizen78]

Definitely not. Pulsars send radio signals, additionally it would move across the sky with all the others stars. But this object here almost stays where it is or moves slightly to the left. So my best guess would also be a satellite. If it's an old one, maybe even out of control, it would not be unusual if it's rotating/tumbling, which would cause periodic reflections of sunlight. If the time and location is known, when and where it was captured, then Stellarium or heavens-above.com might help to identify the object.

[@netizen78]

@Bence Sebők I've already explained why this is definitely not a pulsar. And you're right with satellites moving very fast, but the speed varies and depends on the altitude. The higher the orbit, the lower the speed. At an altitude of about 36,000 km above the earth satellites move with the same speed as the earth rotates, so they always stay above the same spot on the surface. This could be what is seen here in the video.

[@ThreeWhiteSoldiers]

@@netizen78 but why is it blinking?

[@netizen78]

@@ThreeWhiteSoldiers It could be tumbling/rotating, which would cause such periodic reflections. I've seen this before with another old satellite.

I've been out the past few nights in the UK watching the sky & I've seen multiple point source stationary flashes, seen them for a few years now! I've just been out tonight to watch the ISS pass over & lo & behold as it rose up from the west a flash just north of it! This phenomenon is little documented which suprises me as I usually see several flashes every time I go out to satellite watch.

That stationary flasher night after night is interesting. I'm a stargazer myself and have noticed that before but very rarely. I'm not positive what it is either but have tried to find out........Best I can guess is a geosynchronous (locked in one place to the earth) satellite that is spinning and catching glints of sunlight reflecting them back to earth.............And I read your description after I comment. Lol, yeh I think your right scannerguy.

Celestial Teapot

[@frankroberts9320]

@@spydaman2022 Spinning satellites are useless satellites. For them to do their job, their antennas must remain pointed at their assigned 'footprint' on Earth. Satellite companies spend millions of dollars per year on orbital station keeping to keep those antennas pointed down and keep the satellite in the center of its 'box', that cube of space reserved for it and it alone. Actually, that's not quite true. Geostationary satellites must spin, although very slowly. In order to stay properly oriented, it must spin at exactly 0.000694 RPM, which is one complete revolution every 24 hours. That keeps the antennas pointed toward the earth as the satellite orbits it at the same rate. A satellite spinning that slowly is not going to flare in the sun.

[@heftosprod]

I've seen them many times now.. in Southern Skies. I've seen them well after midnight and therefor totally in shadow of earth.. ive seen them way down near the south celestial pole.. so cannot be geocentric satellite. I've quite stuck on it too. They flash a few times, then dim and then I spot them in a different location.

Cool video. If you zoom right in on the "stationary" flashing lights, you can see that they are moving, albeit very slowly. I've seen these a couple of times myself. No idea what they are, my research has hit a dead end. "Geostationary satellites are directly overhead at the equator and appear lower in the sky to an observer nearer the poles" so it says on Wikipedia. The one's I saw were in the north sky, away from the equator. Also, I've seen other reports that they were away from the equator.

I saw something very similar to that except it wasn't consistent in intervals of the flashing and it appeared to be moving but not in a constant direction either. I'm in Alaska and it's starting to get very dark so the sky's were super clear which is probably why I was able to spot it. I've been watching the night sky for a long time and I've never seen anything like that before.

[@ultragroove1]

Blown away by this camera!! I had no idea you could capture such stunning clarity and crisp resolution in color of the cosmos in real time. I’m an amateur stargazer using PVS-7D NVG with an L3 white phosphor 3rd gen non auto-gated, filmless tube. I’ve seen near identical satellite arrays including the tandem flyers and “blinkers”. 99% of which are not visible to the naked eye. Your recordings are like 3rd gen in massive light collection but huge advantage in color with no halo bulb effect on some of the brighter ones. The blinkers are perplexing to me as well. Since most do not have lights save for StarLink, I’m not sure what’s going on there. Perhaps rotation as you pointed out. Gen 3 does reveal infrared and magnifies faint light. What lens model/combo are you using with your camera? Is there a vendor you recommend? Seems to me a game changer for astrophotography! I see the camera body is still pre order but almost here, 24-September on Amazon(and many of the new series lenses).

[@strika71]

In the raw/uncropped video, if the flashing dot is in the exact same place in the frame every time, it could be a hot/dud pixel, made even more prominent by the very high ISO. An easy way to invalidate my theory would be to switch to a different camera, and if it's still there then you have yourself a genuine anomoly!
