Initial data
Voronezh, on may 7, 2013, we received a message from an eyewitness that 06.05.2013 at 22-51 from the South-South-East flew the twinkling object in a straight path.
We have conducted a search for other witnesses of this fact.
The aggregate portrait obtained from eyewitnesses, it became clear that the object was like a flash of Irridium, but not single, but a series of outbreaks during the movement of the object.

We know that the satellites when driving can change their brightness because they reflect light well. The changes of luminance monotonic and depend on the orientation of the satellite and its position relative to the Sun and the observer. As we knowthat many satellites stabiliziruemost a rotation around one or more axes.
Therefore, we assume that this object is an artificial satellite of the Earth, reflecting light and rotatable around its axis and this rotation acquires a uniform pulsation.
To confirm this hypothesis requires additional information about the rotation of artificial Earth satellites. If anyone has such information please share.
I also ask to respond witnesses of the fact described or similar cases, as well as those who have photos or video of this phenomenon.

Hypotheses
Satellite
Ordinary satellites, which often look like single, not very bright luminous dots moving smoothly in the night sky, are quite often mistaken for UFOs. After the Starlink satellites (near-Earth satellite systems developed by SpaceX, in order to create a cheap and high-performance satellite Internet communication channel and technical transmitters for receiving and transmitting signals from earth and orbit) were launched, it became possible to observe groups of satellites (up to 60 pieces) flying one after another.

Investigation
See re-described by eyewitnesses, the object was not immediately apparent, but can confidently say - the object of similar description, appears in the sky every day, but with some spread of time. Though not as bright as it was originally described. On the appearance of a conventional satellite, which then gradually appears and gradually fades away. I will try to make a video, if you can catch him stated brightness. Yesterday he was seen 13.05.2013 in 23-05. So in my opinion - definitely a satellite. According to Orbitron, it could be, for example, ERS-2, which can rotate around its velocity vector.
On Sunday (20.04.2014 21-53) saw "our object." Today tried to capture. Not much happened, so I will be trying on.
By the way - here here describing something similar.
24.05.2014 exactly at 22-00 managed to capture this satellite photo (video, unfortunately, is too dark).
