I'm asking serious questions, and all i'm getting is wise ass remarks.
Exhaust contrails rarely occur below 8,000 m (26,000 ft), only if the temperature there is below −40 °C (−40 °F), and if the relative humidity is over 60%.

Yes we are seeing all wrong we are blind ill informed and just plain dumb.
That distance isn't even close to 30,000 feet, so why did these trails persist?
I sure can, in 2 thousand words. The same characters, with the same smart ass remarks. Truly a shame when you can't have an adult conversation, with grown ups.

So can you explain how you came to this conclusion?
FYI, i live on a mountain, 1/2 mile above sea level. How far is 1/2 mile??? 5,280 feet/2 My vantage point is a little better than most.
If i say, measure an inch with your fingers; will the distance be exactly 1 inch? That's how i know.

That still doesn't explain how you know the plane was not at 30,000 ft.
^^^^^^^This^^^^^^ High fiving myself. Givin' myself a star. lol

Let's try it this way, using the same position.
Early in the day
Late AfternoonNow, you tell me, what altitude those planes are traveling at? There is a way to tell. It's called using your eyeballs. You might not get exact, but you'll get approximate.
Stop trying to insult my intelligence, by bullying me. It's becoming a little redundant. It's getting a little old seein' you high fivin' each other with stars; based on nothing, also.

Yes and I am supposed to believe we see trails all over the sky above us and in all directions and then ...duh not a plane goes by after that day, not another sign of aircraft flight paths all changed walla! They all come out on a day here and there and then no need to pass our way for months.
Yes we are seeing all wrong we are blind ill informed and just plain dumb. Our college degrees and high IQ does not count we are all just full of imagination.

I assure you, i DO. I've got photos, dating at LEAST 3 years back, floatin' around the web somewhere.
But you didn't, so you have no excuse for your lame arsed, nonsense claim that you looked at the trail and 'could tell' that they were too low for contrails.

Well he is a half mile above sea level.
Although his half mile is 5280 ft, so that alone may explain his interesting ability.
