I'm not able to make out the third possible short streak. The other  two 
short streaks seems to have about the right path lengths for an  apparent meteor 
radiant. They are fuzzy, but I get the sense that I'm  seeing a slight feathery 
look to them. If meteors, then most likely somewhat  fast in entry 
velocity...a 4 or 5 on the speed scale. Slow meteors aren't  likely to produce visible 
trains...especially when there might be two on one  frame.
