Well, it's 5:42 pm PST...and the sky is almost completely covered. It looks like someone is covering it with a blanket. The day, that started off with clear, BLUE skies, is now full of puffy and feathery looking clouds. 2 - 3 days from now, i'm expecting the mid-west to get hit with severe weather. If i'm wrong, no matter, i'm just curious to know what the heck it is that they're spraying up there. And again, please dont tell me it's contrails! I THINK not!

As for some contrails looking odd....I've been a life long sky watcher since I was a child. There was nothing I used to love to do more, than to sit on a particular hill in my backyard and watch the clouds/contrails making shapes in the sky above me. I see no difference whatsoever. This, is of course, hard to prove....I have only my own memory. Fortunately I've since stumbled across sites such as the one I started a thread about www.abovetopsecret.com... ......which proves Contrails from the past look just as they do today.
PS, what are you referring to, as the 'California' contrail? Do you mean the alleged rocket?
I've said before, I see very few contrails where I live and even less persistent contrails..
I can really only go on pics I have seen which is not as good obviously..
I have seen some odd ones though..
One for example had multiple, perfect contrails and two of these did perfect 180 degree turns..
Some say these were planes in a holding pattern but they were quite tight turns and from what I know most planes do not hold at high altitude...
Yeah, the rocket one..Still doesn't sit with me....

As for the rocket....yeah I agree that one was certainly odd.
A similar incident in texas - contrailscience.com... (except it's so much more obviously a contrail and not a missile!)

IMO it looked a lot like what a rocket that has failed its launch can look like - which is what the Russians admitted to - it was the 3rd stage that failed, so it was high in the atmosphere - not a lot of aerodynamic resistance to drag it appart, and the large 1st & 2nd stage structures and fuel loads had been ditched.

Really?
A perfect vertical spiral hundred of kilometers across??
Does gravity not exist??
Is that last one a real question? I mean, this is pretty basic stuff. How do you see gravity' factoring into your interpretation of events?

Ever done a burnout on a flat road? Perfect circle.....
Try one on a slight slope....Not a perfect circle..

How do you know the scale of it or the 'perfectness' of it? Did you measure either? Has anyone?

Gravity certainly exists, although the pull on an object that high above the Earth would be less than that on an object on the ground. Wind resistance isn't really a problem up there, did you take that into account at all?
