If your referring to the vertical row of dots heading up from the spark gap.
Its probably caused by crosstalk from saturated pixels in the transfer
circuits of the video. Its was and is a common problem. Its dependent on how
the read out is performed and how that is traversed to the series video
output or moved to the edge of the detector array for read out. Its probaly
not a good idea to let the camera view the spark or for that mater
unprotected eyeballs.
