Ok, probably millions have seen this clip on msm by now that happened over texas yesterday. Now I ask you, does this look like any kind of naturel contrail you've ever seen, anybody? Because in my 51 years I certainly havent. But hey, Nasa said it so it must be true right? NOT!!!

I know can you believe it, a contrail, how stupid have we become?

I've seen these before, it's normal.. I live in a high air traffic area where we have an airforce base to the south and a commercial airport to the north.. ( I also live near trains, can you say noisy? ) .. but it's the sun causing the trail to appear to glow, it can even make a plane that is taking off appear as if it's coming down like a meteor .. it screws your perspective up because your mind is thinking it's something it isn't..

Pretty cool to see.. but pretty normal.. things like this have also been posted on ATS before..

I lived near China lake navel air force base withe faster than sound flights all the time in atmospheric conditkons that rival most places on the planet and never saw anything like this. I'm not saying its impossible, but I am saying its highly unlikely.

Well, this morning nasa commented on CNN it was nothing more than a contrail. If they recantated their statement, good for them because they would have looked like idiots.
