Strange Contrails Over Central Nevada


Recommended Posts

Seems obvious.

it was an Estes rocket that I launched in 1983 in Larned KS.

finally slowing enough so the ejection charge will pop the chute.

I only hope that this one dont land in the neighbors field again...

I know what it was. I suspected the truth, but it was a phone call with an anonymous source a short while ago that confirmed my suspicions. There's only one aircraft flying over U.S. airspace that has that kind of performance....

Maybe something out of VAFB? They have been testing the RAM/SCRAM or whatever they are called over the Pacific.

I know there was an article in the paper about a couple of F-22's having some supersonic fun off the coast out here a few weeks back (a bunch of people were freaking out over the sonic booms, thinking the sky was falling or something..."oh my God! What was THAT?!?"), and now that you mention it, there was a weird contrail I saw in the sky last night. Airliner contrails are a daily thing around here, but there was just something different about this one. I've never seen a contrail from an airliner in a perfect "L" shape before ;).

(I'm about 5 minutes away from the VAFB main gate and can see the VAFB launch towers from the end of my street)
