Recently Jiang et al. reported the discovery of a possible short durationtransient, detected in a single image, spatially associated with a z~11 galaxy.Jiang et al. and Kahn et al. suggested the transient originates from aGamma-Ray Burst (GRB), while Padmanabhan & Loeb argued the flash is consistentwith a supernova shock breakout event of a 300 M_sun population III star. Jianget al. argued against the possibility that this event originated from lightreflected off a satellite. Here we show that reflection of sunlight from ahigh-orbit satellite or a piece of space debris is a valid and reasonableexplanation. As shown in recent works, the rate of point-like satellitereflections, brighter than 11th magnitude, is >10 deg^{-2} day^-1 near theequatorial plane. At higher declinations the rate is 5--50 times lower, butstill significant: about four orders of magnitudes higher than the rateestimated for GRBs.
