That looks about as fake as it come; I do Astrophotography ALL the time and have never seen anything like this.
The clearness of the "flash" compaired to the grainy remainder of the sky convinces me it's a man made enhancement of the video.
FAKE !!:cheers:

After downloading the 640x480 video and running it in an endless loop I can say some things:
The four extra markings are artificial, sure. But that's what those automatic survey cams do... no prove of fake.
Regarding the "grainy"ness: It's more a video-codec problem (downsizing artefact) of YouTube...I would not call it "fake".

Nevertheless I would check for something more 'close' to earth ;)
Like a car that comes around the corner. You might just not be able to see the "source", because it is maybe somewhere at the top of the video...
Fish-Optics (Spheric glass) can make veeeery strange reflections/refractions.
My guess is: It's not a fake, but it's also nothing from too far away.

I am curious what will be the outcome.

What about anything in a molniya orbit? that takes about 24 hrs and can be done away from the eq plane.

Hi All - UPDATE. I got a lot of replies from many high-caliber techies across the globe. Awesome! Based on some detective work with various apps and orbital data, the MOST LIKELY candidate for this event is KIKU-7, or ETS-7. Although information is sparse, it is most likely dead with a slow rotation, and was near perogee over the Southern Midwest USA at the time. It also has a history of flares around the globe.
