Satellite-like moving star with bright flashes every few seconds

Watched what I assumed was a satellite, because it was a medium-bright star moving steadily from south to north as they usually do, but then it emitted a bright flash every ten seconds, which I have never seen them do before. When it was directly overhead, the flash was dramatic and bright; about the size of a nickel at arm’s length.

I would love to know if I was simply seeing a satellite.
