If it is not moving it is in geosynchronous orbit, about 22000 miles up. Probably parked in a storage orbit for inoperative satellites that have run out of maneuvering fuel. Orion Nebula is very near the celestial equator and at your latitude (42N) is right on the geostationary orbit, so you should see that satellite every night at about the same time.
So freaking incredible. Your night sky videos are out of this world man. Ive been posting in comment sections with your channel to get people to come see what you are catching. You should be growing very quickly. People give this man the credit he deserves and thumbs up this vid.
I'm not criticizing,,,Excellent footage,,Excellent capture. When people say,," you need this,, and you need that,,," They must be extremely rich,,,or don't understand that the price of even the individual pieces of equipment for a good telescope cost. Let alone the thousands of dollars that one good piece of equipment cost. Please continue to enjoy your hobby and share and learn. Thankyou for sharing your finds. ❤🌠🌌🕳
Only thing that makes sense is a geosynchronous satellite that’s rotating to maintain orientation. I would guess that flashing occurs only during certain periods of time in coordination with the sun relative to the earth. It would be for communications or something like sat tv.

My astronomer buddy say's it is not a satellite. Must be E.T. spying on Todd.
Give me the gps coordinates of where it was observed or at least within a 1/2 mile or so and the exact time and date and I will confirm it. I am an astronomer. I used to regularly observe satellite activity during acquisitions both in images and in real-time. And now recording the sky is a 24/7 thing I do through 8 automated cameras. 7 of which use stars and location to precisely calibrate position, angle and orientation and use lens models to compensate for field distortion. This gives precise altitude and azimuth of objects or events. From start to finish. And it’s calibrated down to the atomic clock in microseconds. It uses that to calculate speed too. Then using known stars it also calculates brightness in magnitude of said events. For further analysis of a 3 dimensional trajectory and place of origin it uses data from a similar far away station that overlaps the same sky dome.
It’s almost certainly a geosynchronous satellite. I’ve seen them many times in Orion. It’s near the celestial equator where geosynchronous satellites are located.
That's a great catch. If you were just pointed to one spot in the sky, with no tracker, watching the stars move by from the Earth's rotation, some things to me it could be. 1-geosynchronous or geostationary satellite, 2-camera sensor pixel anomaly, 3-Aliens, 4-government shit, 5-glitch in something. I believe it's a Geo sync/stationary Satellite catching the Sun's rays on various surfaces due to being synced with the Earth's rotation. Just my thought. Great catch anyway.
That LIDAR or whatever it's called, ground penetrating radar is going on everywhere. Helicoptors are carrying big rings around, but at first you can see multiple light sources and right after that big flash I could see faint other sources of light. It's either very big or more than one or both. Not natural.
