Strange UFO seen everywhere but what is it?

I have noticed many youtube threads on this same type of object from all over the world. Heck even I have seen it once but what is it? Anyone know?

Hmm it looks like a meteor coming through our atmosphere . Or at least it looks like that to me . Of course it could be any object coming through our atmosphere but sadly there is no evidence on any craft imo.

These are plane contrails illuminated by the setting sun, like in this photo:

You can also watch this YouTube video, where you can see the same phenomena:

A agree that the first two are contrails but the third video is weird looking.

The thing about this phenomena is that they move slowly. That is what is strange - check out the speed of the object on the links above and this one below:

Yes, planes flying high in the sky do appear to be moving slowly.

Ziggys post shows us what they are, particularly the first two videos you posted.

Please note that none of the links I posted have a horizontal flare. They are all vertical with the point facing downwards.

They are not pointed downward. The vertical appearance is caused by perspective. An overhead object moving horizontally toward the horizon appears to move downward.

"These arn't the droids you are looking for, move along, move along".

Trials and sunset. Very pretty, no etee.

Phage is more or less right...

Of course, since the Earth's surface is curved, even though relative to Earth's surface the aircraft may be moving horizontally, but relative to the observer it will be moving in a downwards direction whenever it is traveling away from the observer and maintaining relative altitude to the ground.

The one over the Pacific, is definitely not aircraft contrails. That one is a dark color and seems to be twisting or rotating..

The others do look like sunset contrails, but then again who knows? This footage filmed in Poland seems to halt in midair.

So clouds/contrails can never appear to be dark? Is that what you are saying? They are both the same thing - water. Have you never seen a dark cloud?

What would a contrail look like if it was underneath a cloud, and therefore shaded from the sun?

Why would they not be rotating/twisting? Do you think a commercial jet does not disturb the air it pases through? Have you ever stood beside a busy road and experienced the rush of air past you as a vehicle drives past you, even at relatively low speeds?

I do, and quite a few other people here on ATS do too.

No it does not. At the start of the footage, there is no frame of reference to tell weather the plane is moving or not. At around 28 seconds, we get a frame of reference, and the plane/contrail can clearly be seen to be moving continuously.

You really need to share more info with us than just posting a few youtube links, give us your opinion maybe? Im sure you could read the youtube comments to get a fair idea.

The 3rd video in the original post looks like a type of scratch in the window on the plane. It only seemed to move relative to the cameras motion and changed in shape like an air bubble in glass does.
