No, it definitely is due to ionospheric shift.   30m/s is no big deal over the period of the day/night transition.  30 minutes at that speed would be a mean change in height of 54km.   Not  unrealistic for an E layer (??) height of 120km

Hi Chris, thanks for sharing this unusual observation.
 
From your screenshot, the split was up to about 0.35 Hz, or 0.2 ppm of 1.8 MHz. Interpreted as Doppler, a reflector would have to move at least 30m/s radially from your baseline. This seems a bit fast for an ionospheric day-to-night shift.
 
Another possible explanation could be airplane scatter. Large airliners are known to have a large radar cross section at HF. Seeing that on 160 m may seem extreme, but considering the wingspan of an A-380 (80 m), half-wave resonant scattering is a very real possibility. The downward slope of the Doppler shifted frequency would also be indicative of an object passing by at constant linear velocity.

Hi All,
Yesterday evening Pete, M0FMT, transmitted QRSS on topband for a test. An unexpected effect was noticed with the trace splitting in two. Nothing new or 'earth shattering' I expect, but new to us and worthy of further experimentation.
See the result and conclusion on my website http://qsl.net/g4ayt on the bottom of page 1.
I have never seen this effect on 137, even with quite strong audible signals, maybe others have.
Vy 73,
Chris, G4AYT, Whitstable, UK.
