(meteorobs) Interesting capture- still to be identified

Last evening I captured what I assumed was a satellite flash, possibly 
an Iridium flare, but I could not find any listed sats that were in the 
vicinity at the moment of the flash. I asked about unlisted sats on the 
satellite observer list but no sats were predicted at that time.

Hence, I think the capture might be a point source meteor.  But....... 
now I am wondering if this flash could have been from further out in 
space...like a nova or other form of burster of some sort? But I don't 
know where to check on nova-like events.

In any case, I posted the image and movies in both .mp4 and .wmv windows 
formats.

Any possible clues to help identify this event are welcome.

I am thanking you in advance.
