Weird contrail???
A general forum for anything related to flying the backcountry. Please check first if your new topic fits better into a more specific forum before posting.
This looks somewhat akin to the "donut's on a rope" contrail that I have heard the super secret hyper space plane is rumored to make. It did really haul ass across the horizon, much faster than a commercial jet. This normal or look a little strange to anyone else? BTW: I am not in the habit of looking at contrails, nor believe they are some government conspiracy

Those are common and can be from any plane. It is just a contrail that didn't evaporate and lingered due to an atmosphere close to saturation and has developed those lobes. You won't be able to convince those that believe they were made by a "Super secret hyper space plane" otherwise.

Normal. I’ve seen similar contrails emanating from aircraft preceding me on oceanic tracks.
I had a conversation with an educated gent about six months ago. He pointed out the contrails above and stated that they were “chemtrails”. He insisted that airliners and military were spraying chemicals on citizens to control their thoughts. I did what I could to convince him otherwise but his mind was made up. 36 years as an airline pilot, yet my statements that chemtrails were myth fell on deaf ears. People believe what they want to believe, facts don’t matter anymore, if they read it on the internet it becomes reality. Critical thinking skills have been lost to internet drivel.

Cliff Mass says,
"Several times of year I get emails from people claiming that contrails are really chemtrails, which have been injected into the atmosphere by some dark government conspiracy. Obviously complete nonsense, and my attempts to point out the weaknesses of chemtrail theories rarely convince them. It is similar to those folks who feel that Elvis is still alive--you can't convince them otherwise ".

Cessna Skywagon -- accept no substitute!
They must have run out of that chemical they spray on us. Seeing a jet fly overhead is getting to be a rare occurrence.
