Default Missile Launches in Aberdeen... not

Found two optical abnormalities in Aberdeen, Scotland. They look like missile launches, one is 700m west of the train station, and the other is 500m NW. I think they are reflections from a sun roof... but really don't know.

Has anyone found similar thing elsewhere?

You can find such "rockets" in the inner city of munich, too.
I guess those stripes are sun reflections, so the sun stood in an adversariable angle when the photo was shot.
A rocket is travelling at a far more high speed than e.g. a plane, I don't believe you could catch them with those satellite-cams... And: A rocket over New York, wouldn't that cause an enormous echo in the news?
To underline the sun thesis, follow the link:
