As the anniversay of the slow news day missile flap approaches there is the possibility that events could repeat themselves? The combination of
continuing UPS902 McDonnell Douglas MD-11 scheduled flights and the upcoming clock changes bring the sunset earlier. All that is required is the
conditions to produce that persistent backlit contrail.
Remember that Gil Leyvas (The helicopter cameraman) saw something similar on the 4th November. I believe that Leyvas was fooled twice by a scheduled
MD-11 flight by UPS902. It is too much of a co-incidence for me that on both days UPS902 was on a scheduled flight approaching the coast on the run up
to sunset.
Snippet from his CBS TV interview.
Well, I realized that it was something that we saw earlier from the week before -- we saw something very similar the past Thursday, and
immediately I realized that it was something very similar, and called on the 2-way there to our assignment desk to let them know that we were seeing
it again. It's not as dramatic as the one from yesterday -- the one from yesterday was pretty spectacular. Like I said, it was growing in nature and
continued to fly up into the sky, and at one point it seemed to separate. The smoke or the plume seemed to stop and then continue further up in the
sky and then finally disappear.

Remember to keep an eye on UPS902 flights via Flight Aware. I have noticed that it sometimes takes a more northerly route into Ontario, California.

If the conditions are right and with the upcoming clock changes then there just might be a repeat performance from the slow news day media?
