Looks like lens flare to me. Try shooting a dark subject in the center of the frame with a bright background. Or shoot something like Christmas lights. If you can find an array of Christmas lights that fill a quadrant of the screen, you should get a pretty effective map of what angle produces flare on which part of the frame. Have some lights outside the frame as well as some in the frame.
Connecting the center of the flare to its source produces a line that goes through the center of the image.
