Agreed with Doug's explanation, I think it could also be the result of some
leakage through the film cartridge slit if not tight enough and film
(completely) wound up inside , and was exposed to light over a long period out
of its canister.
Which photos are affected, beginning or end of roll i.e. inner or outer section
of the film?
This would also account for the edges to be ok.
Good luck

My first guess would be that it's coming in through the viewfinder. Since it
doesn't extend into the sprocket holes I believe the camera's film gate is
involved, which rules out processing, or any handling outside the camera. This
should also rule out a leak through the camera's back. I don't think it's lens
flare because it doesn't seem like there was a bright light source above and
outside the picture area.
