Just observed something at ‘satellite height’ traversing the sky over Auckland from roughly north to south that was ‘flashing’. The flashing varied in frequency and intensity. A quick check on Flightradar24 showed nothing up there. Best guess is a satellite or piece of space junk spinning/rotating/tumbling in its flight and reflecting the sun as it does so. Any other thoughts/guesses on what it might be?
Also if anyone can recommend a good satellite tracker that is free it would be appreciated.

I use this one, doesn't seem to be super accurate for StarLink (or it assumes great conditions) one but not too bad for the rest, also has clickable links, interesting to see that piece of space junk is a booster from a launch in 1963 etc. james.darpinian.com/satellites/
