(meteorobs) Meteor or Iridium Flare

Hello Observers,

During the Ursids meteor shower I imaged what I thought to be two
sporadic meteors.

After closer inspection I'm thinking one of them might be an iridium flare.

I checked the calsky site and the Cosmos 2455 satellite was close to
the same AZ but the altitude was way off.  (I don't think Cosmos 2455
can make iridium flares)

I posted the images here:

What do you think meteors or satellites?

Thanks,

Mike
