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.
