Thanks - I hadn't come across that cloud formation but that sounds spot on: http://nephology.eu/cirrus/cirrus-radiatus I just checked the date. It was Jan 2 at about 3.15pm, facing southwest. Looking at the satellite view from a bit earlier that day you can see the bands of cirrus ahead of the...

Also, if this really was a hanging person, then why is the necklace hanging upwards around their neck?! Ghost jewellery is obviously lighter than air!

I took this one a few days ago in London. "Mare's tails" I believe, but I've never seen any that look quite as much like a plume of feathers.

I am pretty sure that date is wrong. Look at the camera model specified: That's a digital camera, released circa 2004 I believe. http://gvsoft.no-ip.org/exif/makernote-vivitar-type1.html Incorrect date setting on the camera I think.

That makes sense - aerodynamic contrails rather than purely engine?

I've never seen a contrail looking as "lumpy" as that when newly laid.

Agree with the above. The "camera movement" looks totally artificial.

@rezn8d - a simple question. Do you agree that planes emit the same pollution whether or not they produce visible contrails?

Yes there is so much ignorance on that thread. "Charlotte" is of course not the name of the plane but the location of the Air National Guard base in North Carolina. And flags on vehicles are supposed to face with the hoist side towards the front of the vehicle.

This one is particularly distasteful: https://www.facebook.com/groups/290971927776851/permalink/329700473903996/ This photo is taken from Wikipedia: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MAFFS_loading_into_a_C-130_080623-F-7564C-071.JPG It shows a Modular Airborne Fire-Fighting System...

"Scala waves"? Are they anything to do with the opera?

I've never been asked for any form of ID by Facebook. I use a second account with an assumed name for any chemtrail-related stuff, purely because I don't need my friends and colleagues knowing about this weird hobby ;)

I see it! And I see why it wasn't leaving a trail...

From Flickr, taken in 1986...

I've identified the prominent curving contrail in the top picture above: Turkish Airlines from Istanbul to Dublin. The photo was taken in Sandhurst, Berkshire, circled below: The camera direction was more or less due west, but the trails were drifting quite rapidly southwards so this was...

Yes, I agree with this. I think the ICA page does more harm than good. I personally find it funny, but the humour is quite dry and it seems to go over a lot of people's heads. (No pun intended!)

People talk about contrails being visual pollution but I think sometimes they definitely enhance the sunset. This was last night. (Well, I say night, sunset was at 3.56pm!)

I think causes like this often just attract the "rent-a-mob" mentality. Like how legitimate demonstrations (eg the tuition fees protests a few years ago) often seem to degenerate into riots because they attract people who don't care about the issue but just want to cause trouble, smash a few...

I'm pretty sure I know (via Facebook, not personally) the person who is behind the ICA page. I am not going to share that information, for obvious reasons, but I guarantee it is satire.
