Just last week I watched a nice sunset. Too bad I didn't have the camera. It was one of those incredible sunsets with all the reds and orange tints in the "clouds"... it really was worthy of a few photos.
In a minute or two, I realized those were not natural clouds, but every one of the wind-blown "cloud-like" formations were jet contrails. I was hard to believe I was watching a photo worthy, man-made sunset.
I have heard time and time again that jet contrails dissipate. Well, it seems lots of times they don't just dissipate.
