Jet chasing invisible line in sky.

alrite its 6:10, oct 4, 2008.
just a few minutes ago i just saw a jet flying normally in the sky and i couldnt help but notice that there was an invisible line forming which seemed to be maybe 100 feet out in front of the jet.

i really dont know what to think of it except that maybe it could be a ufo being chased down by the jet.

the jet continued followin the invisible line for a while, i dont know if its possible for a jet to create a path line in front of it while its traveling.

what do you think?

Hi.

Maybe you are right,it is pretty hard to tell without any photographic or video evidence.

I am sure we have all wished that we could have had a camera handy at times ,but sometimes it is just not possible.

Keep watching the skies though and all the best.

Ive seen something like that before. I think it is the shadow of the contrail of the airplane reflected on thin clouds.
Just my two cents.

If the line was invisible then how did you see it?

Perhaps the jet was just flying on a pre determined flight path.

Could you please post some more info?

Like where this happened.
Maybe a guess at the type of jet.
Weather conditions...was it maybe just a ray of sunshine?
Not sure what more but im interested to hear more.

Nice possible explanation, Phage!

The second picture explains what a contrail shadow is, and the first picture seems like what the OP saw.

Hey thats weird because I just posted about a Stealth Bomber and two other aircraft that made five circles around my area a couple hours ago. Anybody else seeing things like these in the skies today?
