Use ISO6400. Shoot in RAW if you didn't already. LENR on.

The 2 streaks are meteors. They are quite common at a dark site. In a light polluted area you only see the very brightest ones but at a dark site you see the more minor ones and they happen quite frequently.

Thanks Greg!

There was some pollution about 20 miles away(city), other than that quite dark. I used LENR ON. Got to push up the ISO then. Do you find Fujis OK for those kind of shots?  Do you focus at infinity?
