I doubt it... this was a 30 minute exposure, a meteorite would streak in the frame, and it shows the same tell tale signs of PE as the other stars, so it was lit up for a while, long enough for it to be effected by the PE... this says that it wasn't just a flash like a CR.
As far as ghost/reflection of another star is concerned, if that was the case than other bright stars would most likely have a reflection too...
Mount bounce would replicate this on other stars too....
The I'm left with a shock break out, meaning that a nice should happen soon there, or there's a star being fed on by a denser companion that flared up... either case should be verifiable in time with onservation.
