Yes, I've seen lots of comments along the lines of "commercial flights don't fly at angles like that". Then of course there are the "vertical" contrails that get mistaken for missiles, or meteors etc...

Indeed - these are the restrictions set by the Royal Mail: Batteries - lithium ion/polymer batteries contained in/connected to an electronic device Each package must contain no more than four cells or two batteries installed in equipment. The maximum net quantity of cells or batteries is 5kg...

I knew what the was, but I didn't notice the at first! And here is a photo I took of the latter last winter (Christmas Eve 2014 to be precise). Not the sharpest of shots, as I was holding the camera propped up on a car roof!

If the seismic signature supposedly shows an explosion separate from the plane impact, then my first question would be "So where is the signature of the enormous plane crash a few seconds later?" It's the same principle as the , where there was a spectacular rocket re-entry close in time and...

I'm trying to track down the location. All the reports just say "Doukkala", which is just a region of Morocco. Comments on some of the videos suggest it may be Jorf Lasfar, which is an industrial area with a large phosphate plant. Phosphates are found in detergents and can be associated with...

It looks like ordinary sea foam to me. That region is on the Atlantic coast and there have been a lot of vigorous storms in the North Atlantic recently. It's not clear from the video whether it was shot right on the coast - the camera operator seems to make a point of not showing the...

In recent weeks I have been making a start on organising and collating my photo collection, comprising digital photos since 2001 and boxloads of film prints dating back to the 1980s. Although I remember hearing about the "chemtrail" theory many years ago, I never really paid any attention to it...

It's difficult to get an idea of the direction of the photos, but could the first two also be of LAN 700?

Yes, good find. The smoke trails match too. The pic on Murphy's image does seem to have been stretched slightly though. Also, oddly, the colours of the flag seem to have been swapped! Or rather, some of the colours in the image have been reversed, so that the orange roundels on the planes...

Actually on closer examination the angle of the photo isn't quite the same, if you look at the position of the wings etc. But it's clearly a photo of the same squadron, probably at the same air show. I agree the flag is a bit odd - it looks more like the Italian one! Apparently that's the...

"Wake" up, sheeple.

And that allowed me to track down the full description and photographer details. http://pictures.reuters.com/archive/INDIA--GM1E52B1CJX01.html A Jaguar would be pretty useless as a chemtrail plane: per these specs it has a maximum load (takeoff weight minus empty weight) of less than nine...

Good find! Did you manage to do that with image search? I didn't bother trying as I thought the image would be too altered for it to work. Edit: this has an attribution and location. Looks like the sky wasn't that blue in the original...

Are those French fighter jets? Looks like a NATO AWACS on the right, too, with the NATO lettering removed.

I hadn't seen that. From a quick reading of the main changes I don't think any of these flights would have been directly affected. Flights to and from LCY are generally too low to leave contrails here. Departures from Stansted are sometimes high enough to begin contrailing as they pass over. The...

Much of the weather data that goes into the forecasting models already comes from routine airline flights. Tens of thousands of such observations go into each six-hourly run of the NOAA's GFS model, for instance. Only a small proportion of the aircraft supplying this data also provide water...

Some interesting patterns being drawn this morning as I waited for my train. This was the flight just passing through the centre of the X: That's a brand new plane which was only delivered from Boeing last week...

I'm not so sure now. There are three different phenomena that have been observed recently: Iridescent clouds (cirrus, around 30,000ft) Nacreous clouds (PSCs) (about 50-80,000ft) Noctilucent clouds (about 250,000ft) I was thinking of noctilucent clouds when I said they can only be seen with...

She wasn't impressed.

I have seen them once, but 20 years ago. They appear much more luminous than iridescent clouds, as they are usually seen against a quite dark twilight sky. Compare the pictures on this thread (which are genuine nacreous clouds) with this, for instance, of iridescent clouds: If you see them...
