Mysterious meteors travelling below Artemis1 Orion capsule during reentry

I was reviewing the Artemis1 Orion reentry footage and spotted a couple of slower moving "meteors" below the craft.

enter image description here

These meteors appear to be too far below the capsule to be debris that's ablated from the heatshield. I'm wondering what they could be? Did Orion jettison any components immediately before reentry?
