Guys, I don't question that cosmic rays can and do occasionally zap a sub or two. But my instinct says that can't be what's happening here because:

(a) I have 2 other CCDs working here and neither is showing this problem; and

(b) these flashes are not straight-line. My simplistic understanding is that Cosmic Rays would produce a straight flash whereas these are bent, curved, non-linear.
