Imagine someone putting an array of intentionally reflective mini satellites into orbit and then relocate them into mini B/W images just for fun. Or more realistically for advertisement purposes…

The fact that there are multiple persons with the capability to do this is crazy.

We've kinda done that before, the first communications satellites were just giant reflectors, made to be as bright as possible.
