(meteorobs) Interesting capture- still to be identified

[GLDSKTR at aol.com]

Interesting video, Tom. It's a perfect point of light. Hard to tell what it 
 might be, though.

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.
