Well based on the fact that this photo was taken in the 40's. The exposure time would have been incredibly long for this to have been in color. From my observations, the "object" is identified and is in fact the moon.
The reason for the change in brightness and absolute disappearance in some areas cloud coverage. The line is perfectly straight, and the shape can be clearly seen when the high res image is enlarged. It is a spherical shape and the exposure time would coincide with the the movement of the moon through the night sky.
