I think we can rule out an orbiter image. These daytime exposures are measured in milliseconds, during which any orbiter certainly wouldn't move nearly 2 degrees, as this streak has.
On top of that, it's far too bright. An iridium-style glint is conceivable, but exceedingly unlikely and still not bright enough in my experience. Cosmic ray hit! |
