I believe you have captured mid rotation of the underneath red anti collision light and have missed the firing of the outboard, white strobes. The aircraft is at a slight angle which is why the white line (rear tail light) is offset slightly and the outboard wingtip rear white light is so faint.

Up to you what you believe.

Spot on John, exactly what I suspect too.
