Random lines during night photography

depending up the height of the jet you may have a sound lag.
normally at higher altitudes I use a 30-45 degree shift to visually find a jet when I hear it. So rather than look striaght up I'll look 30-45 degrees to the side.
Even lower down there's a sound/distance lag.

So I use a radar app to know when they are coming dozens of miles before I see (or hear) them.

You took a 30 second exposure.
Where was the plan when the 30 seconds started,
and where was the plane when the 30 seconds ended ...

The plane itself was moving, and not making enough light from the fuselage to show on the exposure. The lights made enough light for the exposure.

Even on my example, there's no plane being shown and the lights start and stop.

If you don't understand
then tonight
take a long exposure test shots
and walk quickly, then more slowly through each exposure
with and without a flashlight pointed to yourself and not ....

Or maybe it was just an alien ...
 
Very good points. I suppose since i heard the jet after the picture that it was still in frame. This picture was captured nearly straight up. Thank you all for your responses!
