Attention All Cloudspotters
Curls of Clouds
This was spotted on the National Geographic Daily News website with a story entitled “NASA Rockets Make Weird Clouds Near Edge of Space”.
The effect is caused as chemicals react with water and oxygen in the atmosphere to create the milky white clouds and were visible to both scientists and public in the clear morning skies along the US Northeast coast.

Came across your great site while looking for some information. The ATREX clouds were really great to watch. Here is a collection with more images of man-made clouds that were created that day.
