My Jet Trails March 22, 2023



 Here is a picture of the sky above my house.



There is a low cloud which is displaying a bunch of bright colors.


There were a lot more colors than the camera could capture.



These clouds are fairly low, perhaps 5000 feet up (1500 meters up) and backlit by the sun.



The colors look like a sheen of oil on top of water. 



I would guess that the red, orange, yellow was oil. I would guess that the blue, violet, ultraviolet was jet fuel or hydraulic fluid.  Perhaps there was a "spontaneous disassembly." This picture is my new screen saver:



People talk about aircraft throwing out chemical jet trails and this would seem to have happened in real life. Here is the original photograph full size.
