Okay, then it is not just me. Further info then, I was able to get this effect to come and go by changing my altitude like a roller coaster, as I thought it was happening at a specific altitude, but on each successive up swing, this happened at a different altitude. I can make it come and go just by going up and down. This morning it is repeatable, up at 42,000, back down at 38,000, up at 39,000, etc. Good thing it isn't happening closer to the ground where everybody might see it. Then it would be a show stopper. Ah! I found the trigger altitude with the ufo, so everybody can duplicate it. 116,000 ft. Acts like a memory related problem? Like model load vs. scenery load as a guess.
