Since it doesn't extend into the sprocket holes I believe the camera's film gate is involved, which rules out processing, or any handling outside the camera. This should also rule out a leak through the camera's back. I don't think it's lens flare because it doesn't seem like there was a bright light source above and outside the picture area.
