Was it flying at the same time? Maybe your plane is visible in the WB-57's imagery?

Maybe stretched out into one massive smear of a plane, like when you drag your hand across a flatbed scanner
How long of an exposure do you think they would be taking?
It's not uncommon for older aerial photos to be single-pixel lines that the film is moved past. The motion of the film is correlated with the motion across the ground, so you can reconstruct a 2nd axis from the exposure.

There's no shutter speed, it's continuous.
