Plus, why do you seem to be offended by a logical explanation of what it was?

Uh, the "black beam" is a shadow.

Yes, it's hard to do justice to objects that don't fit in the camera frame. Could you give me the precise location and time of day, and direction you were looking in? I could maybe stick something in Google Earth.

There have been no logical explanations offered here.

"Black beams" are just shadows!!!
Shadows being cast by contrails. There are NO such thing as "chemtrails".
Period.
You can't possibly know what spraying is or isn't being done. There's a lot of sky, a lot of people and a lot of planes.

I'm sure someone is going to come along claiming to be an expert in different types of contrails, just to call you crazy. Anyway, to me this is obviously not normal, I have never seen anything like this. I have seen what I believed to be chemtrails while training in Yakima, WA, but nothing like these dark ones...very interesting.

In many cases yes. In this case it appears not.

I saw this in Las Vegas. It was much higher in altitude, much less noticeable. I was driving on the 215 west past the Decatur exit, and saw two planes in the same direction at different altitudes. One of planes at a higher altitude had a contrail with the same tone of darkness as the one you posted, the other was white-grey. Nice to see a confirmation that what I saw wasn't an illusion.

Those black beams are shadows and that's a great video of one. I have some pics of them but that beats them all.
They used to puzzle me too but they're easily explained.

Is it daytime? Then it's a shadow.
What is wrong with people's brains nowadays? Has public education permanently damaged people's perception of reality? How about using some innate abilities called "logic" and "reason".
It's a goddamn shadow - get past it already.

They are not shadows.
In every instance I've witnessed this, they appear AHEAD of the plane as well as behind. As if the plane is following some form of trajectory by it.
nice try

Thanks for clarifying that.
