What caused the L shape of the time lapse streaks in general? Related to but not the same thing that caused the wobbly streak.
The oscillations caused the wobbly streak. After the bump, and after the oscillations died down, the position of the...
That was my immediate thought, also. It would take just one small bump against the tripod/camera. Perhaps even a footstep?
Scenario:
Initial Bump: The camera is struck, causing an initial displacement.
Immediate Response: The camera quickly...
This ends in a bright spot that's elongated in the same direction as the stars, which means the bright spot is almost certainly a celestial object, like Jupiter.

2. Still fresh but strung out train. The witness describes it as a line of bright objects.
3. Fully...

Pretty sure they are just making a joke, mocking the way Ron presented this picture that looks ridiculous, by presenting a movie poster in a similar way.
Reported as a disabled "space cruiser" in Culver California, 1956. C-57D seems to be a government code name. It was later able to take off on its own power. So, Michael Schratt looked at this image with me, he says that these little platforms...
The two instances we have of this photo vary in detail. Without a better example I'm not going into detail... but what I intuitively see here is not a diorama but a pre-photoshop cut and paste composite with several layers.
To give an example...
