Question What is this? Any ideas?

This came down on a single 180s sub just a moment ago.

At first I thought a high satellite, but it seemed unusually bright and tapers off to darkness too nicely. I checked for iridium flares or any named satellites at 10:17-10:20pm .. nothing I could see in my apps.

But when I zoomed in closer it seems even weirder.. as it's not hitting one colour in the CFA on my OSC CCD sensor. So whatever it was can't have been visible light or man-made .. or it would have got caught by those missing pixels right? Seems like G&B pixels only.

So I'm going to guess some kind of cosmic ray strike or radiation? Although I've never seen one so uniform. Weird eh?

What do you guys think?
