Contrails are clouds of ice particles formed around the small particles (aerosols) which are in aircraft exhaust. When these persist after the passage of the plane they are of great interest to researchers. Under the right conditions, clouds initiated by passing aircraft can spread with time to cover the whole sky

No bubbles here to burst. But, no, the position is not relative to the camera person only. They cover the sky in the direction of the sun first now. This started a little over two years ago.

You do understand that the clouds come from these? So there are typically no clouds there to begin with. Cloud irridescence.
What's your take on the dark lines that often accompany these persistent contrails?

See it dosn't end there. Now you have to tell me why I never seen anything like this during the sixtys, seventys, eighties and most of the ninties.

You missed my point about the sun. They obscure it first and entirely. We are not speaking here of ONE trail but many, criss-crossed until they spread and obscure the entire "view of the sun" for anyone on the ground.

You can see it happen in this video featuring B-17's producing persistent contrails in WWII.
