Today at around ~13:36:00 ET Nasdaq stopped reporting to the SIP. After they came back online, we noticed this interesting "fishbone" pattern in our one second chart.
Upon closer inspection, you can see the "spikes" in trades actually occured as trades through EDGX.

*Update*
It turns out these trades were delayed from the inital trading that occured after the outage, they were just 10-15 min behind.
