I've included the second photo and a full-pixel side-by-side comparison
photo. I recomposed for the second photo, so it probably was taken
within a minute of the other one, not immediately.
After examining the full pixel versions, I am inclined to think the
leading, pointed light is actually a jet. It shows some puffs right
behind it in one of the photos, and I think these become the blobs we
see higher up in the photos.
