What's this?

Today's entry in "name that streak":

It's the strange streak through Cetus that has me wondering. The jagged pixelated left (East) edge adds to the intruige.

If it weren't for the pixelated edge I'd say it was an unusually bright meteor.

It may still be a meteor, but it'd have to be VERY bright to saturate the CCD in such a short amount of time.

Nothing else comes to mind though.
