To me, the "event" and the "something" left behind looks like a thruster
firing and it's plume. The shuttle may have been in sunlight then and the
exhaust left by the thruster firing was illuminated by the sun. What gives
it away I think is that it "stops" immediately.

Thank you very much to the person who told me where to find
the video taken from Reno (Sparks, actually), Nevada:

There's an event visible near the end of the brief movie.
It almost looks like the orbiter just leaves something
standing still behind it. Here's the associated story:

Knowing when Columbia passed Venus as seen from Sparks,
Nevada, might give a pretty good time for the occurrence of
the event.
