So, you think the actual pattern suggests that this happened while the film was in the camera? Would the fact that frame 15 has a similar, but narrower, band also be consistent with that.
It definitely happened in camera. I don't see how it could be a processing error. On looking again at the film strip as posted, I am tending to agree with Rob that the shutter was hung open for a very long time, probably 30 or more seconds, in full daylight with the lens relatively wide open, and what you are seeing is extreme overexposure on the frame that is totally obliterated, and then a combination of halation and light bouncing around inside the camera causing the rest.
