A mysterious, flashing UFO was caught on video by UK Skywatch. What is it?
The unidentified flying object, when lit, looks like any other star in the background of a time-lapse video of the night sky over the UK. But, unlike any other object nearby, this one flashes on and off at roughly one-minute intervals.
Such behavior is commonly caught on tape by known aircraft making its way through the sky. But this UFO blinks on and off, flashing brilliantly for just a second at a time.
Its position in the sky does not move perceptibly, suggesting the object is a star. But what star winks on and off every minute or so?
Other aircraft and satellites can be seen moving in the video against the backdrop of the eternal star field. But this object does not behave like any known aircraft. So, what is it?
Here's the video:

Something started plummetting down from roughly the same point in the sky as the unidentified flashing object during one of its flashes (at an angle roughly 30/40 degrees from the base of the vertical) and as you say ended up somewhere off to the left at 00.15.
Is it me or do some of the stars look strangely like hot gas emitting coals peeping out from under a bed of darker less reactive coals (if you've ever spent the night in front of an old fashioned coal fire as it goes out you'll know what I mean)?
As for the ufo its ascent and flashing reminds me of the police helicopters you often see flying off in the distance over Liverpool UK in their pursuit of miscreants - but without the accompanying identifying lights.
Somebody commented on this on youtube and said it might be the Yaogan1 satellite, which makes sense too. :^D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdASwD181P8
