Im going to say i believe in aliens but this aint it i suggest maybe looking into my thread about the signal from Proxima Centauri

At least James Chessman is in good company this time, with General McInerney being fooled by a similar illusion. This video shows a plane and the general as presumed authority figure on aircraft with 35 years flying experience says it's not an aircraft, and he is absolutely sure of that. Yet, the general is absolutely wrong, so this is another example of someone claiming to be an "expert" fooled by a contrail illusion:

He wants to believe so hes grasping at straws. Everyone knows its contrails i showed examples as well. He just doesnt want to believe its a plane and no amount of logic will change his mind.
Agreed. Someone made this showing a moon UFO video was faked because the CGI artist forgot to keep his computer-generated atmospheric turbulence effect running after frame 855, so it's 100% proof it's fake.
and no amount of logic will change his mind.

the turbulence is the final nail here and I don't think I need to waste more time.
Turbulence stops exactly at frame 855 in the video I've extracted from YouTube.

You guys also can't definitely debunk the atmosphere distortion / turbulence, either.

Why is the immediate response it's a UFO? The default will always be a prosaic explanation. Exhaust plumes coming off aircraft when it's on a horizontal path more or less away from the viewer. Gravity would pull that straight down if crashing.
A dark apprearing exhaust on one side isn't unheard off and is likely a shadow. It took me 5 minutes of searching:

1:50 General McInerney "I am absolutely certain that is not an aircraft"
So if the general can be fooled...

But that absolute proof means nothing to James Chessman.

So I challenged him to show any real video where the atmospheric turbulence suddenly comes to a sudden and complete halt like that, which of course is impossible, so of course he never did. Yet he never admitted it's proof of a CGI effect accidentally turned off prematurely (those are the last few seconds of the video). I gave up trying to convince him, I just let him believe what he wants.
McInerney should have been a little more open-minded though.
Not quite convincing? It's absolute proof! Even after seeing absolute proof, you're impossible to reason with just as with the moon UFO computer generated hoax.

Ok I just noticed that the YouTube video with the military pilot, has a debunker style description, and a link to a site about contrails.
So that would probably be why that vid was posted here, in this thread, in such a dismissive way. Because that's how it's presented on YouTube, with the link about contrails as its proof.
contrailscience.com...
Anyway it's all interesting but it's also not quite convincing either. .
The link you posted completely proves what it was. You either refuse to accept the proof because of your bias, or you didn't really study it and don't understand it. The link even shows they downloaded data from the air traffic control radar that was tracking Flight UPS902, and the images show that what was leaving that contrail exactly matches the position of flight UPS902! I don't know what more proof you could ask for. What would make you think a missile could account for that correlation? Your comment implies you aren't thinking, you aren't open-minded enough to accept proof that your bias is incorrect.
I think when all is said and done, we still have the unusual spectacle of that exhaust trail, which the 35-yr military pilot, swears is not from a plane. And which would therefore suggest that it was probably from a missile...
So in such cases, we're still left with a strange spectacle that is not quite 100% provable, what it was.
That too is addressed at the link you posted. But, it's at the end and I doubt you read that far, you seem to have little comprehension of what is at the link you posted.
And also, if such strange-looking sightings are so absolutely normal, then there's still a question of why they look so unusual.
And why aren't such sights much more common...
The next day, Nov 9th 2010, Tom Carroll, a retired engineer from Rockwell’s Space Division took this photo of a similar contrail in the same spot in the sky. This does not happen every day, just when the weather was right. The Nov 8th contrail was particularly dramatic, and the news chopper just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
I'm not sure who you mean by "they", but with a little searching and reading from reputable sources (adding site:edu to your search can limit the search to university sources), you can find out what we do know, and what we don't know, about dark matter. There is an alternate hypothesis called MOND, but it has serious problems explaining observations in the bullet cluster, and also can't explain the large-scale structure of the universe like dark matter can.

Nice post for Monday.
Its tough to be open minded and free from personal bias with our UFO's analysis.
"Dark Matter" which is a core belief of most modern physicists is a German term dunkel (kalt) materie - “dark (cold) material".
Why would they keep something like this "hidden" a retarded truther like me might ask?
Not quite convincing? It's absolute proof! Even after seeing absolute proof, you're impossible to reason with just as with the moon UFO computer generated hoax.

It’s a regular jet making a regular contrail.

I will make this easy for you anything you have seen in clouds can occur with contrails. In truth they are the same So i suggest you might want to try looking up once in a while especially near sunset. You can even end up with rainbows behind aircraft under the right conditions. Yes its rare when it happens the sun has to be in the right position and the air has to be able to make contrails.
Here is a 757 taken by another pilot looks similar especially if we were seeing it from the ground.

To put it simply the video is obviously a contrail but thats not surprising its happened before people misidentify a contrail. Heres one from texas people thought was a meteor.
If you can find the date and time you could track it like they did on this sighting
