Initial data
December 17, 2004 – Hawaii.
Strange band that appeared in the night sky over the island of Hawaii as a surprise to observers. Strip, which can be viewed on the website of NASA, was shot in the area of the volcano Haleakala, Hawaii. It runs South-East to North-West.
In the picture you can see a strange strip, close to the center of the circle. As reported on the NASA site, the streak was spotted on the night of 17 December. Another camera pointed at the night sky in Mauna Kea, also captured the object.

Original news
According to the NASA site, the streak was spotted on the night of Dec. 17. Another camera trained on the night sky in Hawaii, in Mauna Kea, also captured the image.
While the streak may have been disregarded as a satellite, NASA says no record of a satellite in that position exists on a website that documents bright satellite events.
NASA includes an online discussion board for people to speculate about what the streak might have been.
One poster wrote: “What is truly bizarre is that this object is visible for a good 55 minutes at Haleakala and close to 30 minutes at Mauna Kea. Usually, satellites take a few dozen seconds or, at the most, a couple of minutes to cross the entire sky.
“If this object is a satellite, it is either very slow moving or at a very high altitude. I checked all the possibilities at Heavens-Above and no satellite passes seem to fit this observation. It is also impossible to be a meteorite.”
Hypotheses
Objects in motion, captured on a long exposure
Most often this artifact is called skayfish if the lens gets a passing bird or insect. It is based on the discrepancy between the speed of the video and the frequency of the flapping of insect wings. Essentially, each video drops a few strokes of the wings of an insect, which when viewed looks like "arrow", provided with long protuberances. The motion of the insect by its translucent body seems to "boom" and vibration of the wings give the appearance of bumps.
