Atypical long-term GOES satellite anomaly

Most up to date image loop

 

Long loop showing gradual movement of imaging anomaly and beginning of entry of additional anomalies, missing two frames that are included in the prior link

 

I have been following a unique anomaly in GOES satellite imaging that became visible in October and has continued through recently, although the method previously being applied to replace this satellite frame is being used again.

I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with this anomaly, although it seems recent and confined to a specific broad location.  The anomaly are always present in the 2100 UT frame.  Prior to October the 2100 UT frame was replaced by surrounding satellites in GOES global composites.  

An attempt to describe this non-disruptive but fascinating anomaly in two sentences: A slowly migrating, very long shape moves slowly to the west and from the east a second eventually appears, moving west for months and then begins to move back eastward, soon appearing over a larger span of the map.  Near the end of the 2100 UT frame being left intact new large shadows and blurs move along with one and then two long shapes.  

Actual imager or motor anomalies would be present throughout the satellite data.  Have there been time-specific imaging anomalies like this previously?

 

I have been checking the CIMSS blog but as this doesn't disrupt the servicability of the images beyond 5-20% and only in one frame, I do not think they found it to be much of a topic. 

 

As a unique type of satellite anomaly archived by this forum, I do think it's interesting, and it does have an air of mystery too.  The frame replacement happened not long after many of the new shapes appeared and a very large shape began to appear in the frame.  
Are these perhaps space junk objects who rather than being geostationary have an orbit that intersects with this specific GOES satellite at the time of this image capture?

The orientation of the anomaly is very mathematical, looks like a parabola. I would wager it is something to do with the sensory equipment.

Neither GOES satellite can see the area where the anomalies are occurring.  Check out GOES-E/W full disk images.  What you linked has to be some type of mosaic.  It's centered over where Meteosat sits.  The region where the curved area is sits closely aligned with where Meteosat/MTSAT would be stitched together.
