I was out doing some timelapse testing last night and when I assembled the quicktime movie, I noticed a frame was out of step. Is the streak probably a meteor?

It could be a flare but it would take 8-12 seconds for that much travel. If it is an Iridium Flare you may be able to see it continuing on in the frame before or after, but it would be vary faint. Cool catch either way. Just barely away from the clouds, so good timing too.
