Iridium flare?

Looking towards the dawn this morning (taking a look at Venus) at 06:35 I
caught a bright white light a little above and to the left of where the sun
will rise. It was very bright, easily rivalling Venus. It quickly faded to
zero. It was already very bright as I stuck my head out of the door so I
only saw the last few seconds.

Was this my first Iridium flare? Either that or something too high to be
seen against the brightening sky had a damn intense spotlight. No aircraft
to be seen once the light faded...
