love it!
Maybe it's just the temperature and humidity that makes them stick around.
They sure are chemtrails.I have dozens of pic's taken at various locations around Melbourne ,Australia. If a line appears every half hour starting at the same spot and then drift with the wind it stays together to slowly form a blob and not dissipate into thin air.Condensation trails from a four engine air plane leaves four trails about 4-5 air plane lengths behind it as a tail.
it is an aerosol spray referred to as chemtrails
As a long term sky watcher, I can attest that contrails tend to evaporate quite quickly. Normally that many planes would not cross each other’s paths and all take off at the same time. What air traffic controller would allow such a thing? This is totally against all air traffic regulations. Civilian aviation rules would never allow this. What do you think is added to these trails to make them stick around like that?
wow, cross grid….what was it they saw?
What a beautiful shot. I just love it.
