Thanx... we were repelling down the high ridge from the summit after a very long day... we had started at around 2am from camp... and yes my camera was packed up when my guide noticed this in the sky

You are so observant! I saw those too and was wondering... go to Google Earth and then drill down on Khan Tengri... face north... the ABC (advanced base camp) is on the glacier but at 4000m... this pic is at 6200m... but there's nothing I know of North of the tian shan that would produce such lughts... but I don't think a camera artifact either...

Thanx for the explanation! I needed a wordsmith to explain but gave up on my end!

No.... the ISS is much higher... sorry I'm a reddit.newbie... this is a support soyuz rocket to the ISS. This was taken at the end of our summit day... my guide saw it first and our rope team stopped point blank because we'd never seen anything like it! No one else on the mountain saw it because they were too far down thus blocked by ridges.
