I'm not into satellite observing, but, consider myself unfortunate that due to having to sleep and get up early, I observe at first dark, when they are a positive nuisance. Often I see two in the same bino field. Usually one goes right through the object I'm trying to look at. They insult the sky. Astronomy is not train spotting. End of rant.
"Blinkers" aren't that rare. I figure if a satellite has flat reflecting surfaces, and is rotating, it can blink. OK, OK, they are kind of cute. I probably see a blinker one night out of four.
