It was pointed out to us that there was a solar flare measured by GOES, precisely consistant in both start time and duration with the flare seen in the ASM data. Given that the moon's position was within a half-degree of our best-fit position for the transient, we conclude that this event was most likely a solar flare reflected off the moon, and not an event originating outside our solar system. Thanks to David Smith for pointing out the contemporaneous solar flare.
