One for the brains trust and petermac33 
I would be open to suggestions to explain this photograph.
Yesterday 16th of June 2020 @ 10.46am Facing the west I took a couple of photographs of a rainbow. Both photo's were taken seconds apart, from the same location with the same camera as verified by file. I have just down loaded and noticed a slight difference in the images.
Image A. DSCN6604.
Image B DSCN 6605
Those with sharp eyes may have noticed almost in the centre of the arc on image A there is what appears to be a white line originating from the spectrum, it appears to originate in the arc and from this perspective point down, this line does not appear on image B, nor was it visible through the lens when the shot was taken.
Below is the cropped and enhanced section of image A.
Now I am not an expert on imaginary interpretation and have really no idea what it is, had it been on the lens it should have shown on both shots, I think it is something natural but I'm curious, any ideas?
It looks like a typical trace of a meteor or space junk reentry travelling west to east.
Just coincidence it ends at the rainbow.
A few seconds is all it would have taken for tit to flare out.
There's a faint image of a face in that too
The nose is at the base of the white smear thing.
If i didn't know better i'd say it was a contrail (sorry chemtrail 
). But i don't know how brief they can really be. Maybe the right kind of atmosphere would allow for a quick dissipation?
a stray gamma ray/neutrino across the camera sensor? Maybe you've recorded here something the boffins have been trying to capture for ages. I think you need professional advice, a meteorologist or physicist maybe could help.

With the low cloud, it isn't contrails or space junk. Contrails can disappear quickly, but they don't form below low cloud like that.
I'd think it's some sort of lens flare or lighting effect. Or just small piece of dust on your lens, that blew away between shots.
Did you change the aperture between shots? Different settings would show dirt on the lens better than others.
hmm I've just spotted something else, what do you see here?
What's that stuff on the hill, and the trail on the right? Is this a rocket range? weather stuff perhaps?
yes the bottom one starts in the trees, wouldn't think anybody is going to launch a rocket from there. So why does it move relative to the image? The camera is aimed a bit lower on the second image, so a lens artefact does fit the bill
