Although I understand that perspective, it doesn't make any sense with regards to what I witnessed.
It was later in the day (last) July. I was at a friends having a BBQ. He stepped in for a minute, I looked up and saw a sharp/dark black line shooting out in front of a plane.
I observed this for a few seconds before calling in for him to come and check it out. By the time he got outside it had vanished (for lack of a better term)
It was a clear day for the most part so I don't see how the sun could have caused this at all considering it's orientation in relation to the plane, nevermind the fact that is disappeared for seemingly no reason.

Plus, why do you seem to be offended by a logical explanation of what it was?
There have been no logical explanations offered here.
I'm going to say 99.9% chance you saw a shadow on the blue sky too. It is THE logical explanation, especially after posting a video of what you thought it looked like. Then there's the link to Uncinus' very detailed article showing you THE SAME THING again, including pics of the shadows against a clear blue sky.

Actuallly....I DO know:
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 know a LOT of stuff, when it comes to aviation topics.....a LOT of stuff....I happen to be a pilot...with a LOT of experience Just ask.....
(Oh, and I should add....not only am I a pilot, but I am an Airline Pilot too....so, all of my knowledge is free to consume, here on ATS.....(wish I could charge a fee, but that is not how it works, on ATS...yeah, wish I could, but I can't)

I will honestly say that I had never ever payed enough attention to the sky to see one, until I saw a thread here about a black line. I bet it wasn't three weeks later, on a beautiful day, I see a contrail then the sun get's in the perfect position and BAM a black line that went from the edge of the contrail all the way across the sky. It was clearly a shadow caused by the sun being in the perfect spot with the contrail doing the light blocking.
Very cool to see, but sadly it didn't last very long.

Uh, the "black beam" is a shadow.
In many cases yes. In this case it appears not.
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.

I know how you feel. Nobody seems to even look up for anything anymore.
They've been "spraying" here in FL especially in the morning. Just the last week I noticed in the afternoon. I had one person tell me they were contrails I should've said I was (non-plussed to say the least) but I should've said since when do they make a giant X like symbol in the sky?
Npw If they see this post they'll probably say something snarky like x-files. Oh well some people just don't want to know anything about what's going on beneath their noses. They'll be the first to panic when the shtf. At least we're aware something's coming.

I'll quote this gentleman to anyone who calls these beams shadows.
"u r talking bollocks, i saw this dark beam just appear ,no planes no clouds, it went as far as the eye could see, then a plane deliberatly, flew into it and puffed out whatever then the plane flew out of it, i could not have been any closer to it, it was just to the side of me, and only 4-500 feet above me, it was thick, solid, perfectly parallel, i am from WW2, i have worked outside all my life, i am constantly watching whether as rain would ruin my work, i spent 10 years plus water sports , constantly watching every cloud to gain a wind advantage, never was there any black beams, never these chemtrails, only in last 10 years or so. people like u ought to be hung from the gallows, pure cointelpro crap, and one day u will b held accountable, the people r not stupid, they are only commatoised, i have every faith that one day they will awaken, but it is hard work. this is for real people not fakes like you."
do you REALLY believe that ?

Well It's not a common subject day to day chemtrail dicussion but try steve quayle's site
stevequayle.com...
scroll down to his chemtrail section it will open a PDF file with some info on the black lines.

Well, well what have we got here? weathermodification.com... Somewhere out there RIGHT NOW an idiot with PHD on his name tag is destroying the planet for profit and fame.
Feasibility Studies
Weather Modification, Inc., has been involved in multiple programs with the goal of identifying the potential benefits derived from the application of cloud seeding techniques. Our feasibility studies focus on the cloud structures and patterns in the project area. Gathered information assists in identifying the cloud seeding technology that's best suited for the project.

The shadows don't seem to be very common. I've only seen a couple but I haven't paid that much attention to the sky since I stopped believing in chem trails 4 years ago. And the whole chem trail theory didn't start till 1999 to the early 2000's, so you probably didn't think twice about them decades ago because your mind didn't think twice about it.
Just like people will tell you persistent contrails didn't exist in the 70's and 80's but you can find them in movies and photos from that time. There was just less traffic and no one telling you that the government is spraying you for them to notice/remember/ or care about them at that time. The human mind has selective memory.

I can't wait until the summer so I can start shooting again. I will post photos of this and start my own thread on it.
Also, I find it incredibly odd that I had not seen one of these "things" EVER until approx. two years ago.
If this was some natural phenomenon I would have noticed eons ago (just like CHEMTRAILS), as I'm sure most of the other rational folks in here will agree... if these are "shadows from Chem/Contrails" then we should be seeing them often. We don't.

This sounds likely. If I had time I'd spend the next three days researching this.

Oh, gawd......
CONTRAILS!!!
Do people not realize that airliners fly on various courses????
And, yeah.....those courses mean that the contrails will sometimes "cross"....

Check out this vid.
It's from a 767 filming as it passes straight through the middle of another jet's contrail:
Like PB said, flight paths do cross.
