Question Is it a bird, is it a plane, is it internal reflections...?

While imaging tonight I've just taken an image which I though had caught a plane flying through it. Fair enough, but I've had three subs in a row with similar streaks (though not quite the same angle). Now I'm thinking they might be reflections in my AO unit, though I image at this location regularly and I've never had anything like this before.
The sub before and after these three has no weirdness.
Also I recon I can make out a plane engine in the top right corner of one of the subs, though I'm probably seeing things and it does look like it's not quite right given the angle of the streaks...

Thoughts!?

I was hoping that somone would have answered this, because I'm curious too! Of course, I have no idea what it would be

Nice capture of the nacelle. It's a plane mate. Seen this before myself.

Thanks Paul

What are the odds of 3 in a row though!? or is that not too unlikely given how air traffic is routed?

Perhaps that night it was the route the planes were travelling along.

Where in Sydney are you and what direction was the scope pointing? I can look up some airways charts etc.
