Both pictures are very normal.

Those are cirrus clouds. They are being spread around, torn up, by the winds at altitude.

Ever heard the term "Mare's Tails"? Refers to cirrus clouds, that get disrupted like that.

Thanks for checking them out. What I thought weird was the odd V shape at the end of the trail.

Looks to be some manmade cirrus there (as rare and unsual as a bun in a bakery), but other than that what are we meant to be looking at? I see nothing strange at all


The word manmade is enough for me to question what is there or why it's there, like I said I am no expert but this isnt common here and was hoping some of you would know.


You don't see contrails very often? Odd. But anyway, that's what those straight lines are - manmade cirrus clouds produced by commercial aircraft exhaust. Studies back in the 1950s and 60s showed they can on occasion cover the whole sky.
