Maybe some space-junk, passing rapidly under the keyhole-satellite? The long line indicates the speed, nothing on earth is so fast and ist not the shape of any airplane. Maybe its a lose solar-panel of some defunct satellite in low orbit.

It must be an image anomaly, 'cause the line to the east of it goes on for 120 km (75 miles), straight trough cities and so.

Yes, it looks the same what we have above Baikal lake? It flights in the same direction and the small lines it contains are in the same direction to. The object was mowing very high so it was moving for the camera faster than any plain. We could see only surfaces which was reflecting sun light like mirrors. The repeating pattern of that mark and Baikal tape could be explain for example by rotating metal surfaces of few propellers placed in one line. With every turn all propellers gives one flash of light reflected from sun. Different satellites are making different photos. That satellite have longer time of irradiate of the film and its not prepared to made mowing object photos because they are to small in that resolution. But if we have object like flying wings which are mowing on such high level of the border of space it could be cathead by the satellite.

The single mark contains eight repeating flashes which I could assign to Pathfinder which has eight propellers. The Baikal tape contains a line of above 44 flashes and I don’t know such big flying wing. The bigger cousin of Pathfinder – Helios contains only 14 propellers.
