Viewing the pic at 100% shows a bright spec a bit below the tail section of the helicopter - possibly a fault with the sensor?
I don't see the bright spec but I doubt that the object is a sensor problem. A sensor problem would most likely present itself as a distinct problem with a sharp edge along a line of pixels whereas this UFO is blurred and at an angle.
As it is unidentified, it is a UFO. Of course if it's just something on a ballistic trajectory it might just be a UO.

That's interesting enough I would make sure to store several copies of the image.

A practice run by the approaching asteroid?

Contrail as a high altitude jet went through a temp layer? Fuzzy because of high altitude winds and/or movement relative to camera?

We’ll never know. The sensor has since been replaced. But it does look like what you suggest.

Here is a crop of the original photo, to see what object/artifact more clearly.
UFO
Check with Roswell immediately

The object looks blurry along its length. Could it be something going the other way? Nearby insect or bird?
This is a Topaz gigapixeled screenshot of a screenshot of a portion of the original download that had been run through Topaz sharpen (focus) at maximum. Screenshot taken at the update view before "apply" was done. The result after "apply" looks nothing like this.
I believe it is a out of focus bird flying to the right in the frame. Colors remind me of a Blue Jay with the alternating blocks of blue and white on its wing.
A stretch, I admit, but my best guess.

If you were panning to keep the helicopter in your viewfinder, that would help to explain whatever it is.
