Bizarre Thick Multi Lobed Smoke Trail Like a Plummeting Meteor, a Satellite Reentry or a Burning Aircraft Over Alaska’s Lazy Mountain Perplexes Witnesses - Investigators say a contrail from a commercial jet combined with the rising sun caused the unique atmospheric sight

Commenters on social media immediately began poking holes in that explanation, with some suggesting a government cover up of a UFO crash and / or secret weapons testing.

“The old swamp gas reflecting light from Venus story” one man wrote, “Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy could have come up with a better story than this,” another said.

Super shitty images could be anything

A jet is flying directly into the sun. The contrail is self shadowing. To the ground observer the sun is below the horizon by perhaps 1° and the jet is perhaps 60 n.m. away or 1° of earth angle. The jet sees a rising or setting sun and the ground observer sees twilight. Hills obscure the ground observer's horizon. The horizon for the jet is approximately 3° below horizontal at normal cruising/contrail altitude. So if the sun were on the horizon the jet would have to be descending at 3° relative to the earth directly below it to have a self shadowing contrail. But the sun could also be above the jet's cloudless horizon by 3° (actually horizontal aka 90° to the center of earth), the jet could be approximately level, and the hills could be extending twilight for the observer. Since the earth is round the correction to a straight self-shadowing line would be about 1° over 8 minutes. The shape at the head looks like 4 engine contrails which get wrapped up in the wing vortex later on.

All of the figures above are based on earth's geometry and within the normal operating envelope of a transport jet. A self-shadowing contrail is likely.

So, you admit the Earth is round! JK. That's a very astute analysis.

That there is a chemtrail, and a real nasty looking one at that.

space is fake, satellites don't exist
