Initial data
The following statement was provided by u/Desert_Mountain_Time :
I lazily shot this astrophotography timelapse (I usually don't shoot where roads, cars, etc. are visible) at the top of the mountain back in September 2022.
I don't believe we were visited by aliens. The distances are too great. 24 trillion miles to the nearest star system. But I always thought this timelapse was weird. I shoot in some of the most secluded places in the USA and planes are always flying there, as you can see in this video. But the burst of stripes in the lower right corner, starting after about 20 seconds and lasting up to about 30 seconds, is unlike anything I've ever seen.
I guess it could be meteors, but this will be the best meteor timelapse I've ever done.
Each exposure lasts 10 seconds, and 30 frames per second.
Original news

I don't believe in aliens visiting us. I've been shooting astrophotography timelapses for 11 years. What is going on in the bottom right of the sky in the later half of this video I made (not the sunrise, rather the non-airplane like streaks)? I've never seen anything like it.

But the burst of streaks in the bottom-ish right beginning about 20 seconds in, and continuing until about 30 seconds in is like nothing I've ever seen.
I suppose it could be meteors, but that would make this the best meteor timelapse I've ever done.

Hypotheses
Meteor
Meteor, "shooting star" is a phenomenon that occurs when small meteor bodies (for example, fragments of comets or asteroids) burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. A similar phenomenon of greater intensity (brighter than magnitude -4) it's called a fireball.
Satellite
Ordinary satellites, which often look like single, not very bright luminous dots moving smoothly in the night sky, are quite often mistaken for UFOs. After the Starlink satellites (near-Earth satellite systems developed by SpaceX, in order to create a cheap and high-performance satellite Internet communication channel and technical transmitters for receiving and transmitting signals from earth and orbit) were launched, it became possible to observe groups of satellites (up to 60 pieces) flying one after another.
Investigation
Since they appear only in one place, it is probably the place where the flying satellites "catch the glare" from the sun and glow. By accuracy, we can assume that this is a Starlink, but in order to confirm or refute this version, it is necessary to find out the exact location and time of the shooting.
