They are automatic bug swatters attached to the cameras.

Much larger and longer vapour trail at this spot in Northwestern Ontario, Canada just south of Hudson Bay. However the aircraft appears to be one of the invisible ones from Heathrow earlier this week.

Interestingly, they seem to be heading in the same general direction/angle as those in Kyrgyzstan.

It is a digital anomaly in the data downloaded from the satellite that took the image. They are all over the place in Google Earth if you zoom back from the higher resolution imagery. You’ll find them most often over Asia as that is where the imagery is oldest and hasn’t been updated.

Placemark: This / Google Earth is another good example. It is also referred to as “packing tape” for its resemblance to thread reinforced packing tape.

If you zoom in close enough you’ll clearly see the digital nature of the white areas.

Vapor trails don’t remain in a straight line. This was done after the image was captured.

as Izzy pointed out, I also noticed the color distortions over land. I’m gonna go with a connection point of images.

I forgot to add that from what I hear and read Kyrgyzstan appears to be an insanely beautiful country. Sort of like the American West was 100 years ago….

I want to claim it as covered up secret military hardware but I wasn’t aware that kyrgyzstan was at the forefront of Aircraft design, unless it was Chinese or an American flight from Afghanistan?
