What is that line?

This picture is from the roof of our house of the recent launch. I cant figure out what would cause the line (from the trees to the smoke). Anna and I both saw it while it was actually launching and we both tried blinking and it would not go away. So that eliminates our eyes and the camera. Any guesses?

An Alien Invasion?
Space Shuttle?

Shadow of one of the booster rockets? Maybe a fin shadow? It looks like it is in line with the rocket thrust.

It looks like the tangent line to the arc of the shuttle's tragetory. which most likely makes it a shadow from all the exaust.
