   However I see a little issue with this explanation.   
      
   Let's suppose it was a satellite, let's suppose it was stationary.   
      
   Then this raises the following questions:   
      
   1. How fast does the earth rotate ?   
      
   2. How fast does the satellite rotate with it ?   
      
   Would the speed be slow enough to reflect the sun light for about 2 to 3   
   seconds ?   
      
   Additional explanation could be rotating satellite, which lengthens the   
   exposure.   
      
   However if calculations would prove that this is impossible then the   
   hypothesis of a satellite can be dismissed.   
      
   Anybody care to do any calculations ? ;)   
      
   Bye,
