It's possible, but Iridium flares are rather rare these days, with the majority of the original constellation having been deorbitted and replaced by satellites that don't flare. There's usually pretty obvious motion which OP didn't mention.

I've been lucky enough to see one Iridium flare in my life. Def not what I'm describing. But it was cool as hell.
