Be carefull here. An attitude change of an aircraft can do that (as well as
causing the divergence of the set in general).

Yet with the more detailed pictures, there is indeed a bit too much of streaks
on it, so I am too backing down on my intitial suport of saying definitely "it
is an aircraft". Problem with camera's and bright objects however, is always
reflections that can create ghost trails.
