NARRATIVE

I noticed this while post-editing long exposure images from early Wednesday morning, December 14, 2022 of the Geminid meteor shower. These are definitley not meteors.
There are five (5) distinct trails, none of which travel in a straight line. Not sure exactly what I captured here, but I have shot thousands of milky way/night sky long-exposure images and have never seen anything quite like this. GPS from area are 40°54'17.064" N 72°48'55.716" W. Facing WSW.
I have included three (3) images. An unedited JPG, a color corrected JPG, the original RAW file, and a map from Google of the area we were photographing from. Your site won't let me upload the RAW file.
