I love shots like this. After googleing iridium flare, this one seems to have the same shape as a lot of the flare pics out there.

I vote flare. and awesome pic

I think its a flare. Did you check Heavens-Above.com for your location for any flares? Either way, cool picture!

First I checked the time on my camera. It was 3 minutes too fast.
So the irdium flare is this one:

I would say flare, either way, that's a very nice image.
