What the hell is this photo of?!

[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/338c2f671fa7.jpg[/atsimg]

I have no idea what it is, a friend of mine uploaded it on her facebook page and when I asked her what it was she said she has no idea, she found it amongst old photo's and has no clue at all of what it is.

Didn't really know what forum to put this one it so sorry if it's in the wrong one.

Would really love to know what it is or could be?
To me it looks like some form of craft that was flying in a zig zag shape before breaking through something and just 'dissapearing'

Tell me what you reckon

EDIT: Link fixed

The last link you posted said you had to login to photobucket to view it since it is a private album.

Your link is still not working. Upload the picture to ATS, then post it.

reply to post by zabby


The link didn't work for me, neither one did.

A quick rundown of how to post pictures. First save the image on your computer.

Go up to the very top of the ATS page and click the link that says NEW! Video and Media, its toward the left top corner. Scroll down and make sure you are logged in to the Media Portal (type in your ATS username and password if you are not). Once back at the Media Portal Home click My Account and scroll down to My Pictures. You should have an easy time of it from there, upload the image and click on it and there should be a code to Embed it on ATS.

Third time's a charm....................? If you want, U2U it to me and I'll upload and insert it for you!

Really sorry about this guy's
I will do what Titen-Sxull just told me
I will have it up ASAP sorry again

It was worth the wait. Pretty damn interesting even if it's a natural anomaly (although it's reminiscent to the UFO err, I mean, 'Rockets' gone wild' photos of late)
You have no background information on this at all? Where did your friend get it from?

missile exhaust

Are these missiles being piloted or launched by a bunch of drunkards lately? C'mon......ANOTHER spiraling missile? Really?
In order for me to consider this (which I'm havin' a real hard time) can anyone show me a spiralin' missile from the 70's or 80's or 90's or early millenium please?

Yeah I don't believe it is exhaust from a missile I mean whatever the object is it has clearly been moving and doing very sharp zig zag turns.

When I asked her she said "I have no idea who took it, I found it amongst old photos and i have no idea what it is haha"
I just asked her again over facebook but not to sure if she is still online, it is an amazing photo ether way. As soon as I find out anything new I will post it ASAP!

I just opened a link to PhotoBucket just now (that's no longer here) and it had another photo called 'colourful sky'. Do you know what I'm referring to? If so, are they linked?

Plus, seeing how colour is spelled with an "U", was this taken in Europe do you know?

It's not "spiraling", it looks like an old missile exhaust trail that's being blown into odd shapes by the wind.

That happens pretty much every high altitude shot. The Germans had a term for it: "frozen lightning". Here's a link to a V2 trail that's been blown into random shapes.

linky

The first rocketeers thought it meant their rocket's guidance systems were going nuts, until someone realized it was just differential winds at various altitudes.

Looks alot like this one:




Its just a missile launch, Minuteman III in this case from Vandenberg AFB, CA.

Hmmmmm OP. Maybe this is a plume after all. Check it out:
