What did I get here?

I was out early this morning trying to get the planetary alignment, never could see Mercury from my location. But, I thought I'd try to get a shot of Mars with the Oly 100-400 and 1.4. My mars shot turned out miserable, but I caught something just below and to the left of it. Is that the ISS? Or a satellite? One things for sure, I need to practice my night photography a LOT more. This is a very heavily cropped jpeg, I tried running the raw through DXO Pureraw and it turned out a mess.
Thanks for any help, Boomer

Almost looks like a reflection from inside the camera of the focus type indicator. But then again, it could be a swarm of alien craft formation flying...

That's the first thing I thought, a rogue tye fighter! But, I took about 6 frames, in the hope that I could learn to stack the images. This is the only one with that weird shape, otherwise I would think it's some kind of artifact.

Since there are no bright stars currently that close to mars (from our prespective) it was probably some type of aircraft, particularly if it was only in that one frame.
