Leo, maybe you will easily ID this one later. Where I am at the moment I'm not set up to try to ID this, but it seems certain not to be Superbird A. You mentioned its different characteristics. It also seems like it was visible for much too long of a time, as Superbird A is usually only seen for six or seven minutes, but you timed this one for over 20 minutes. Known ones that I think of as possibilities are TDF 1 (19621, 88-098A), TDF 2 (20705, 90-063A), Intelsat 512 (16101, 85-087A), Apple (12545, 81-057B), and Cosmos 2282 (23168, 94-038A) because of their fairly short flash periods.
